I am sure this post has been made multiple times before but anything i try wont fix it. I have tried Alt+Enter  and also tried closing near enough every program i have running on my PC but it still wont go fullscreen. The only time it goes fullscreen is when i change the game to one of my left or right monitors in the games settings menu but it won't go fullscreen on my middle monitor whatsoever. If anybody has anything i can try to get the game to go fullscreen i would appreciate it.

Is there an option for full windowed mode in the settings of bf4?

I think yeah, try borderless as well. 

 

Third option down on the left. Make sure your full screen monitor is at one, not sure what it might do, but worth a shot!

Can you do a fresh install of the gpu drivers? 

 

Click custom and then click fresh installation? But before you do this, does this happen with all games?

Samsung Magician can cause a problem, open it if you have it and leave it open and launch again.

I have Magician and when i installed it BF4 would continue minimizing.

Now if i restart my pc and leave Magician running on start up (dont open it or click it) my game works fine, as soon as i open it i have to leave it open to play games

The exact same thing happened to me when I tried overclocking my monitor's refresh rate. Setting it back to 60 Hz fixed it for me.
