thanks for the workaround, but that is what it is - a workaround, as you are basically changing to fullscreen instead of borderless. lets hope a fix is coming soon. ---

Do you have a PROFSAVE\_profile in your documents or not? I tried everything that is written, but it didn’t work. After a Windows 10 Anniversery Update “Battlefield 4 has stopped working” keeps giving an error. “PROFSAVE\_profile” file is available. Written I tried, didn’t work. I deleted the file, again it didn’t work. Sorry, my English is not very good. But I hope you understand me. ---

The issue seems to be with Borderless being run, something you could try is deleting the “PROFSAVE\_profile” then repairing the game and running it. ---

Thanks for the fex! The issue is definitely with borderless, but removing PROFSAVE\_profile and repairing the game still doesn’t fix the issue. ---

The issue seems to be with Borderless being run, something you could try is deleting the “PROFSAVE\_profile” then repairing the game and running it. I deleted the file, I did repair game but it still didn’t work. I was playing the game always in full screen. But now, no way I can’t play. Why DICE doesn’t update to resolve this issue? What am I to do now? I can not play the game. ---

I’ve never have had the problem, you guys are. Go into game options, video settings. Set fullscreen to fullscreen, instead of borderless, problem solved. ---

I just get “Battlefield 4 has stopped working - A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available” Which is cute, since updating Windows has caused the problem. ☹ I guess I’ll just have to wait for EA to get their finger out. ---

Tried this fix but didn’t work, thanks anyway. However, found another fix for my launching problem. Roll back the Windows Anniversary Update Settings\>Update & Security\>Recovery There was an option to uninstall the last update, Reboots the PC, then done. BF4 is working again..Disabled Windows automatic updates so it doesn’t re-install Cheers, Forn. ---
