BF1 Freezes In Fullscreen, Slows PC Forcing Shutdown

Game freezes when loading in fullscreen. I can sometime force close the game but then my PC runs extremely slow and I have to restart. I did manage to press "alt+Enter" and kept the game in windowed mode, it ran at 1 fps. I managed to change the settings to low and restarted (had to restart the computer too as it was slow). Then it worked in windowed mode, once. But I shouldn't have to play the game windowed or on low settings with a GTX 1060 6GB. I just upgraded from a GTX 960 2GB and the game was running on medium/high settings.

Other Origin games work fine, like Mass Effect. My Steam games and Star Wars The Old Republic work. Just this game. All drivers and system is updated.

    YAY! It’s fixed. Windows “Game Mode” was the culprit. There are issues with the new mode in the Creators Update of Windows. Disabling it in Windows Settings/Gaming/Game Mode/Turn Off Game Mode fixed the issue. Didn’t even know that existed until today. Thanks EA specialized support! And thank you to those that offered suggestions. I appreciate your input!

    Glad it helped. Took me days and several support chats to figure it out. Funny how Microsoft makes things for gaming but it doesn't vwork. DX12 sucks, game mode sucks. 😂
