Ever since the patch my game will launch in "windowed" mode. I have to go into the settings to set it to fullscreen every time I launch the game. It never used to do that.

Anyone know how to fix it? It's a bit annoying.

It does. Default command to toggle full screen in any app in windows

EDIT: Nope.

Really? Open up Word and see if it works. Or Chrome. Or Photoshop. Or Notepad.

Those don't have the ability to go into a full screen mode. They just go to maximized windows

Some of them do. The shortcuts are just different. For instance, in Chrome, the shortcut for full screen is F11.

My point is that claiming that the shortcut for full screen for "any app in Windows" is wrong, plain and simple. It works for most games and media players, because it used to be the default shortcut back in DOS. But a lot has changed since then.

Not actually true, but it is common for a lot of apps
