Game will not go fullscreen

Dec 28, 2017 Kierky link
Just flickers, and will not come to front when selected in taskbar when put fullscreen.

directx11.log

config.ini

Windows 10 Home, 64 bit.
Intel i7-7700K
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080
2 BenQ Zowie XL 2430 Monitors 144Hz

EDIT: It should be noted that DirectX9 fullscreen works totally fine. This is for DirectX11.

1) Windows is updated, right?

2) What happens if you enable Simulated VR mode? (Wondering, cause it fixes a separate minor issue for me where game minimizes when it loses focus (but of course you can bring it back up by returning focus to it); curious to see if it changes this flicker oddness for you)

3) Do you have any window managers installed/active?

4) Video Drivers are updated?

Weird. I have a GTX 980 at home, and I have no problem. We also have one in the VR machine at the office, and that has no problems either. Never seen an issue with full-screen.

What driver version are you using?

When you say "2 BenQ monitors" I assume you mean a dual-head setup? That could be the issue. We haven't specifically tested multi-monitor desktop setups in a long time, but Curt was recently using that on an Intel integrated GPU without any issues.

Do you have MSI afterburner or a panel that comes with your card that has similar functionality? How about TeamViewer? I only bring this up because when I have either of the above running with my (older) GTX 750 Ti installed, VO will not fullscreen in DX11. If I have TeamViewer running, VO will not fullscreen on my AMD Rx460 either (but MSI afterburner works fine there).

Just exiting both from the tray area should be enough to test this, or killing the processes in task manager, uninstall is not needed to test/fix this if it is indeed the problem

Everything is updated on the software/OS front.

The monitors proved to be a non issue as it happens when I boot with only one standard monitor too.

Interesting you mention team viewer, I do run that, and will have to test it when I get home. Will let you know results.

Seems to be fixed due to a reinstall of VO. Teamviewer running fine with DX11 full screen now.

Well, I guess that's good. If still a bit odd.
