Game freezes every time I put it on fullscreen

My game doesn't work in fullscreen mode it just freezes but the music keeps playing until the changes revert. The windowed mode is way too small to comfortably play on but switching it to full screen doesn't work. I don't have any CC or Mods.

    Your dxdiag crashed while running and is therefore missing some potentially useful information.  So I'd like to see a new one if the above doesn't help.  But first, please run a couple of basic checks of your Windows system files:

    • Hit Windows key-X
    • Choose either “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Windows Terminal (Administrator),” whichever option is offered
    • Inside the window that appears, copy and paste “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” without quotes, and enter
    • The system will start validating soon. If it throws an error, please list it here
    • After it reaches 100%, hit Windows key-X again
    • Again, choose “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Windows Terminal (Administrator)”
    • Inside the window, copy and paste “sfc /scannow” without quotes, and enter
    • Post the message you receive here


    Restart your computer, hit Windows key-i, select Update & Security, and click the box to check for updates.  If any install, restart again afterwards.  Then run the new dxdiag.
