Crash on alt tab when using DX11 native resolution /w Full Screen enabled

I'm playing on a 1440p 144hz GSync monitor and noticed that GSync wasn't working after the latest patch. I alt tabbed to see if there was anything on the forum, and when alt tabbing back to the game ...

Yeah DX12 works fine, strange that DX11 doesn't work. I got a successful alt tab on DX11 then it broke again, just like it did on the test account.

On Windows 10, go into Settings, Gaming and make sure the ''Record Game Clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game Bar'' is set to OFF.

Then uncheck both ''Open Game bar using this button on controller'' and ''Show game bar when i play full screen games Microsoft has verified'' <-- most important one.

I can now alt tab without issues on DX11 and GSync works again. Awesome.
