I'm going to be that guy and say it's Windowed mode, not Windows mode.

[joshfrog]

it was a joke, i was saying they wernt breaking it it was feature that it wouuldnt work

[suicidalfranco]

time for the MS task force to tell us how this is not a real issue 

[joshfrog]

1 of the reasons that those problems keep happening is they dont have a testing department anymore so the people who are in the insiders program and who install it when the updates pushed to there computer become the new microsoft testing team

Insiders Program users = Voluntary QA

Windows 10 users = Involuntary QA

It isn't an issue because MS is literally god and they will surely fix this.

 

Now where's my shill check? :3

 

in all seriousness though, while I don't run a surround setup I hope they fix this.

Lol this reminds me about how all of the default windows 10 applications on my PC have simultaneously stopped working...

 

Microsoft, go fix your stuff!

[TrigrH]

Dammit now my new razer laptop is fucked, might as well hand it back for the $25,000.

When they fix this then PLEASE!!!!! Fix the issue with stuttering because games are trying to lock to 60FPS when running 144Hz monitor in windowed/borderless mode because I have animation happening on my secondary 60Hz monitor.

I have both a 3 screen setup on one desk, and an ultrawide next to a 144Hz monitor on another desk connected to my gaming desktop and fuck windows has so many issues, especially with 144Hz. It pisses me off but I know it will never be fixed. I'm tired of 60Hz Ui as well, that happens depending on what's open.

Just when I built up the courage to update.

Going from Verison 1151, could I update while avoiding any new issues?

Pretty sure there isn't a 51st month of the year....

 

On topic: if you have a multi monitor setup then maybe try to wait for this issue to be solved?

Why does every Windows 10 update seem to break something.

Workaround

• GO BACK TO WINDOWS 7 FFS

Oh look, a more sensible solution.

 

Anyway joking aside it's nice to see that awesome quality control and stability users of 10 keep telling me I need on my personal machine. I am now ready for you to claim how this is either not MS fault or "Works fine for me!" and "Just a vocal minority, barely an issue!" comments. Oh and by "ready" I mean I am ready like this:

Bloody hell this is annoying. Neither workaround is a viable option for me, I use crossfire and you can't use Windowed mode for that.

I have a workaround that you could try.

Also I would assume that many insiders run the build in a vm, which would usually only have one display

it's not like tf2 ran decent anyways

Because they have a 1000 employees testing the updates before they are pushed but there a literally millions of different pc configurations.

 

I know people bitch and whine about beta updates or testers but when you are developing for a system to handle such a large pool of devices you cant test everything and there will be conflicts. 

 

This shit happens on every OS. Most gamers avoid the beta like the plague because they hate updates so this was never caught before pushed.

I haven't tested it much, but so far, it seems to not cause issues with initial game startup or performance with it running. It does cause a temporary black screen upon closing, with each monitor on its own GPU.

I haven't seen many people specify what issues they're having, and how they run their multi monitor setups. That'd be a useful tidbit of info to have, and could help find additional work arounds.
