Thanks for the post Bill.  I changed to full screen and was still able to move both G1000Nxi screens to the other monitor.  I had read somewhere that I would have to use the Windowed mode to do this.  Not so.

I then used the Windows key to get to my Task Bar.

Thanks again,

Roy

I'm glad that works for you Roy.  😊

An alternative to Alt + Enter - to access other Apps is to just tap the window icon  on the keyboard - usually located between Ctrl and Alt. Hit it again to return to full screen.

The Windows key on mine just brings up the start menu. To switch between apps that are running I use Alt-Tab.

I can only fly in windowed mode since one of the updates last year. I get screen tearing when quickly panning around the cockpit. Only advice I saw regarding this was to fly in windowed mode. 😐

Have you got vsync turn on. If not, that may be a cause of your screen tearing.

I think I did turn it on when it first happened, but no results. It was only the interior of the aircraft that was tearing, not the scenery. But I just tried it again, no tearing. Thanks!

Always window mode for me.

Amy advantages of full screen?

None whatsoever.  This game, when in "fullscreen" really isn't anyway.  It runs in "borderless fullscreen windowed".  You can read more about that here .

Thanks. Just realized I’ve been using the borderless full screen option the whole time. No worries alt-tabbing to other windows, I do it all the time. Only have one monitor, but I try to use my iPad for Navigraph, weather etc. And the FBW MCDU.

Do you fly in full screen or windowed mode? I want to fly in full screen but can't figure out how to get to my desktop should I want to go into apps or the internet. There has got to be a way. I see people on YouTube dragging them in with the mouse but can't figure out how to do that. Any help?

Full Screen.

If I want to get to the same desktop I run MSFS on, I press Win+D to get to the blank desktop or ALT+TAB to navigate to another open Program if there is one.

If I want to get to the second or third desktop (I use several mostly), I press CTRL+Win+Right Arrow. These are not different hardware screens, just different desktops, which is a feature since Windows 10 I believe.

I usually run my additional programs (LNM, AoA and some other MSFS tools) on the second desktop and music and browser and stuff on the third. First desktop is ony MSFS.

Something is broken then.  If you use Nvidia, in the control panel, under 'setup gsync' make sure 'enabled for windowed and full screen mode' , since even in full screen mode, you are actually in a windowed game.

Hi everyone... Sorry to bring this back up, but why would there be a noticeable image quality difference between being in windowed or full screen?  I have a considerable better experience visually when in windowed but prefer to have the experience of having full screen.  What would cause such a difference? 

Windowed. Everytime an update switches me to full screen, I get PO'd.

Just a thought. Have you checked to make sure that your in game resolution settings are the same as your Windows OS screen settings?

I have not.. how would I go about doing that?

Full Screen all the way.\Windows mode takes away the beauty of the sim, just make it more REAL.
