BF4 process running but not showing up

Hello everyone!

Im having problems launching BF4. They started yesterday, after i installed the latest anniversary update build of windows 10.

When i choose any game from battlelog (also the test range) the bf4 icon appears in the taskbar and suddently disappears after one second.

Anyway the game is running in background (i can see it from my task manager) but is not showing up nor in the taskbar nor with alt+tab.

I tried to reinstall it, tried to reinstall pnkb, tried to repair it with the right click on origin... nothing worked.

Any help? Thanks!

    This solved my issue

    Found a solution that worked for me. Seems like the game launching in borderless mode was an issue. I went to my PROFSAVE_profile file in the Battlefield 4 settings and edited the following lines to look like:
GstRender.FullscreenEnabled 1
GstRender.FullscreenMode 0
GstRender.FullscreenScreen 0

    I had the same issue. I just resolved it by deleting the Battlefield 4 folder in Documents on the PC. (you may not have to delete the entire folder, maybe just the settings).

    I tried to reinstall it again, the problem is still there.

    Also, deleting the folder had no success. 

    What can i do?
