In the fullscreenizer, click refresh, click on your game and click on fullscreenize.Īnother solution is not to fix the alt + tab, but instead to use a different solution: Using Windows 10ĭoing this on windows 10 is easier than on windows 7/8/XP, since windows 10 has this feature built in. Try the other solution given if this doesn't work. In the fullscreenizer, click refresh, click on your game and click on fullscreenize. If it is not possible to do this, then try CTRL+ALT+DEL and open task manager. If your game runs in fullscreen mode, try going to the game settings and then try changing the window type to windowed mode. If your game runs in a regular window or you can run it in a window, go to Step 4. When a game runs in full screen, it occupies the whole of grapic card power, leaving none to the Host OS, While in full screen windowed mode, the game loses out a bit on the "exclusive mode" & graphical interface. The difference here is that you might lose out a tiny bit on high graphic games. You can fix this by running the game in full-screen windowed mode, instead of running it in full-screen. But I did used fullscreen windowed mode when available until I found the problem fixed itself so I'll mark that as the answer. Both Windows 10 and Nvidia Drivers had several updates since then and now I don't have this problem anymore. It's been a long time since I asked this question. Here are the things I've tried and haven't worked: This I haven't tried since I open the games from the Steam/Blizzard launchers.

I can press alt+tab again and it comes back to the game.I have a single monitor and an Nvidia Graphics card. It also turns black sometimes after exiting the game. It doesn't happen all the time which is makes this even more confusing.

When I use alt+tab on a fullscreen game to go back to the Desktop in Windows 10, most of the time the screen goes black.
