Game(s) Keep Exiting out of Fullscreen
Ever since I installed the new Sims 4 update I haven't been able to actually play. I can load the game up and play but every four or five seconds, it kicks me out of the fullscreen app and back to th...

Yeah nothing worked except putting it in windowed mode which I did by going into properties and adding -w at the end of the target. Im telling you its the LG monitor's "HDR" pop up that is causing it, it nearly exclusively happens immediately when the HDR pop up shows up. This is so annoying. Would really like to be able to use it in fullscreen again.
Heres the dxdiag while running in windowed mode.
@neoromanempire Editing Options.ini to force windowed mode should have accomplished the same thing; I'm not sure why that setting wouldn't have held. The -w command line argument overrides the in-game setting, but there's nowhere else the in-game setting would be saved.
At any rate, all of the crashes in your dxdiag are of one component or another of LG's On Screen Control software. There's a newer version (9.35) than your currently installed one (9.28) available, and you can get it here:

But please uninstall it first and test Sims 4 without it present, and only then install the newest version, that is if you want to use it.
Let me know whether the pop-ups go away with the software removed, and if so, whether they return with the newest version installed.
Oh I didn’t even attempt to edit options.ini. I just forced it into windowed mode using the target -w method because that’s an easy way I’ve done before that I already knew how. Okay yeah I’ll download that newer version later.
Downloading the newer version did not work. I think the problem is actually I never set my monitor up right, apparently it needs a usb a to c cable from my monitor to pc to actually connect to my monitor on and driver and software level. I ordered one that is coming tomorrow and I will update you on if doing that and ensuring my monitor is properly connected software wise with my pc and it's lg applications will fix anything or atleast improve the situation somewhat.
