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.

F11? Is the game the right resolution for your display?

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

Do you mean like borderless?

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!

Um yeah i know the options are there.. The problem was it wont go fullscreen no matter what options i set.

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.
