Did they disable Windowed Mode? ALT + ENTER just minimizes

Featured Replies

Coming back to FS20 after a 4 month break. Doing all the updates and tidying up. After updating I noticed I can no longer enter Windowed Mode. 

ALT + ENTER now simply minimizes the sim. 

I tried selecting Windowed from the menu but that does not work either. Is anyone else seeing this? Did they remove it? If not then something strange is going on with my system. 

ALT + ENTER works for my other games. 

Thanks for any advice

Spelling

sounds like a video card driver issue - maybe a fresh install is needed

Could it be that you MSFS window position went bad and like out of the screen ?

Try clicking on the taskbar, and select one of the choices like "cascade windows" or "set windows side by side"... not sure about the exact titles in English, sorry...

1 Alt + Tab allows you to select the window of your choice.

2 Alt + Spacebar then allows you to move that chosen window all around the screen with the arrow keys.

Update

After a recent update the problem has suddenly fixed itself. Windowed mode works great now, thanks for all your suggestions 😊

I have 4 screens one of which is the big tv. Depending on mood I have to drag the sim to the tv or back to the monitor. When it was not going into Windowed I couldn't do this. Once on the desired screen I max it to fullscreen.
