Repair Needed Each Time I run the Game

When I open Battlefield 6 on my PC, it starts in a small window in the top left corner of the screen. My mouse cursor is locked inside the window and I cannot access the task bar at the top of the window. The only fix I have found it to run a repair in the EA app. That usually takes ten minutes or so. Then the game works fine. But if I close the game for any reason or turn off my computer, the issue returns and I have to run a repair again. I have tried clearing the games cache in the EA app. I have tried unintalling and reinstalling the entire game. Fullscreen mode is selected in the game's settings. This is an irritating issue and if you have a solution, I would really like to hear about it.

    if repairing no longer fixes it, that usually means the problem is persistent corrupted configuration files, registry entries, or a conflict with your display settings. Since reinstalling and clearing cache didn’t help, we need to try a more “nuclear” approach.

    1. Completely remove all Battlefield 6 settings
    2. EA’s repair only touches some files — some corrupted config can remain in your Documents folder.
    3. Close EA Desktop and make sure the game is not running.
    4. Navigate to:
    5. C:\Users\<YourUsername>\Documents\Battlefield 6\
    6. Backup this folder (just copy it somewhere safe).
    7. Delete everything in the Battlefield 6 folder. This includes settings, PROF_SAVE_profile, and any cache or logs.
    8. Start the game. EA Desktop will regenerate all settings with defaults.

    2.Reset display and GPU scaling

    Sometimes the game window gets stuck due to GPU scaling or multiple monitors:

    For NVIDIA:

      • Right-click desktop → NVIDIA Control Panel → Display → Adjust desktop size and position → Scaling → Full-screen.
      • Check Perform scaling on: Display.

    For AMD:

      • Radeon Settings → Display → Enable GPU scaling.

    Also:

      • If you use multiple monitors, try disconnecting extra monitors temporarily.
      1. Delete Battlefield 6 registry entries

    4:  EA Desktop may have stored windowed mode info in the registry:

    Press Windows + R → type regedit → Enter.

    Navigate to:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\EA Games\Battlefield 6

    Delete the entire Battlefield 6 key (or just any entries mentioning WindowedMode or Resolution).

    Launch the game — it will recreate default registry entries.

    5: Disable fullscreen optimizations

    • Navigate to the Battlefield 6 .exe file (usually in C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Desktop\...).
    • Right-click → Properties → Compatibility.
    • Check:
    • Disable fullscreen optimizations
    • Override high DPI scaling behavior → Scaling performed by: Application
    • Apply and launch.
    • Optional: Force fullscreen in the config file
    • Open:
    • C:\Users\<YourUsername>\Documents\Battlefield 6\settings\PROF_SAVE_profile
    • Edit these lines (if they exist):
    • GfxFullscreenMode = 1
    • GfxResolutionWidth = 1920
    • GfxResolutionHeight = 1080
    • Save and launch the game.

     

    Hope this helps :)

    Nevermind, repairing the game is no longer working as a solution. The game is effectively broken for me.
