> [@SchlechtMetzger](#): > > PROFSAVE\_profile edit fixed it. Reading the edits to the PROFSAVE\_profile it simply tells the game to run in FULLSCREEN mode. No one has a problem running in FULLSCREEN. Running BORDERLESS is where the problem is. ---

SIMPLE FIX I figured out another solution for windows 10, if non of the other solutions work for you. – Go into your battlefield directory (Mine): G:\Origin Games\Battlefield 4 – Right click your battlefield4 Exe, Mine is displayed as “bf4” or “bf4\_x86” and enter properties. Once you’re there, enter the compatibility tab at the top. – After that, click the box and ensure you’ve UNSELECTED “run this program in compatibility mode”, and UNSELECT “run this program as administrator”. – That is how mine is now working again, I hope this works for you guys.. ---

I got mine working thanks to a program I already need running. It’s called Displayfusion and it’s for a better multiple monitor taskbar set up Created a trigger for Battlefield 4 (and 3) that runs a script that I downloaded thru Displayfusion. So when I open Battlefield 4 in window mode; it’ll automatically resizes the window and removes the borders. Which gives a borderless window experience for me. Haven’t seen any drawbacks with this method, and works for most of the older games that don’t have the borderless window setting. ---

This is how I did it for BF3 and 4 (Mind you I think you might need a pro key to unlock this feature, and this works with most games that don’t offer Borderless window). 1. Open Displayfusion 2. Go to the Functions tab on the left side ([https://imgur.com/Raq7xNU](https://imgur.com/Raq7xNU)) 3. Click “Download Scripted” at the top 4. Look for “Remove Borders and Size to Full Screen (Make Borderless-Windowed)” 5. Select it, and then click the download button below ([https://imgur.com/eQ9A97b](https://imgur.com/eQ9A97b)) 6. Go to the Triggers (Window Location) tab on the left side; under the Functions tab you went to previously ([https://imgur.com/3xM0WxA](https://imgur.com/3xM0WxA)) 7. Click add, and then set it up like I did ([https://imgur.com/ZcKxJix](https://imgur.com/ZcKxJix)) 8. Click on okay, and you should be good to go P.S. The game may open in windowed mode as usual (You should set it to windowed mode in game as well), all you have to do is alt-tab, and click on the window title. It should then make it full screen borderless. Lastly you can also use this program instead, and set it up to make battlefield borderless window (little more easier; since you click add game, then click on the Battlefield 4 title) - [Windowed Borderless Gaming](http://westechsolutions.net/sites/WindowedBorderlessGaming/) I just already owned Displayfusion, and didn’t want another application to provide a workaround. Despite me already having a program that can perform the same thing, if not better. ---

Seems like the game launching in borderless mode was an issue.

The game should run as expected now, if you’re still running into issues, check the Realtek Audio Driver as this is something that could also influence the issue. GstRender.FullscreenRefreshRate 60.020424 this is what mine say should i change to what yours is or leave it alone? ---

Until a patch comes out, here is a workaround for those who wish to keep the Win10au and Borderless mode… After clicking the [PLAY NOW] button, spam-click on the taskbar where the BF4 program flashes and disappears. It will “catch” the program and allow you to play borderless. About 1 in 10 times though, the game will black-screen-freeze. If that happens, then just click the X on the blue bar at the bottom of your browser-launch-window, select [YES], and wait for the blue bar to clear. Start game again and it should be ok. Hope that helps guys and gals. ---

Simplest solution that worked for me, DON’T update to the latest Windows 10 Anniversary release. It is still too buggy. The hardware that I run is suppose to support Windows 10. I just built the system yesterday with ALL NEW hardware. All set up, ready to go, found that the Windows 10 Anniversary update is no good. Dropped back to the previous build and no issues. There seems to be a compatibility issue within the software. My advice is to just stay away from the Anniversary build and wait to install it. IT WILL cause you issues. ---

Haven’t had any problems whatsoever with BF4 after Anniversary Update. But i have rare (couple times a week maybe) random DirectX errors closing the game, but doubt that is a W10 issue. Using Amd cpu and gpu. ---
