Problems with playing madden on dual monitor set up

Question

Hey guys, I hope you can help me out as I've exhausted the only options I know. I have dual monitors.&nbsp; When playing madden on one monitor, I cannot access my other monitor without madden switching to windowed mode. None of my other games do this, but Madden does...Usually I can just pause a game and then drag my mouse over to another monitor. When I do that and click on second monitor that's when it goes to windowed mode and both my screens black out for a second and then come back on...I'm just not understanding why this is an issue.&nbsp; If this is an easy fix, please tell me how because I'm frustrated to no end about this.&nbsp;

Hey&nbsp;@broncos3587,&nbsp;

Does Madden stay in windowed mode after this happens? If you return to the game window and give it focus again does it go back to full screen?&nbsp;

Hey Kent,&nbsp;Sorry it took so long, I'm in the process of moving.&nbsp; When it goes into windowed mode it will stay there until I actually click on the screen itself and then it'll refocus back into full screen mode. It's like the whole madden game is overlaying on both screens. I have turned the in game overlay off, but obviously that doesn't work.&nbsp; It is a bit frustrating simply because Madden is the only game that does this. Normally I can just pause a game and alt/tab over to my other monitor where I have other programs up on...but the second I click on the other screen it'll black out and go to a windowed mode. I cannot play on windowed mode when it's like this because it's as if I have no access to the game itself...I have the actually click on the screen, wait for it to focus back into full screen mode and then it's playable.&nbsp;

Hmm, gotcha.&nbsp;
Are you running the game in just Fullscreen mode, or is it set to Windowed Fullscreen?&nbsp;
