Borderless = BF4 Doesn't Show In Applications Tab of Task Manager, Cannot Alt+Tab to BF4

Hi, When I am using the Borderless display setting, bf4.exe shows up as a process, but the game window isn't acknowledged in the Applications tab of Task Manager. I'm not able to Alt+Tab to the game...

Does anyone know of anything (registry changes, config file edit, etc.) I can do to resolve this on my end?

Is anyone else able to run Borderless WITHOUT experiencing this issue?

    Removing your settings folder from:

    C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Battlefield 4 and setting up your settings again might be worth trying.

    I have never heard of the game dissapearing from the taskmanager before.

      Thanks Carbonic, I'll give that a shot.

      If you switch yours to Borderless, do you see the same behavior?  If so, this might just be an issue that needs to be patched.  If not, then I'll definitely need to dig (if deleting the settings folder doesn't work).

        If you are running the game on windows 10 then switching to a second virtual desktop the the icon of the left of the taskbar will open up the game again and then use Windowskey+Tab to tab out again. However i don't know how to fix it on any other operating system.
