[FIX] [BF4 Not Launching] Windows 10 Anniversery Update causing BF4 not to Launch / Disappear

Ya I know after I updated my windows 10 BF4 started having this topic issue, But even when I reverted back to a restore point or uninstalled update it didn’t fix the problem!

I have cloud storage turn off on mine and found my settings. If you have Nvidia geforce experience or raptr app they may recommend full screen, so you can click Optimize settings within that app and it will set it to what it thinks is appropriate and just change the settings when in game.

After reverting back you may have to delete your profile and reboot. I think that is what I did. Been a while.

Ah ya i didn’t do anything like that, I just uninstalled updates that didn’t work, then i restored before updates that didn’t work, then I just restored back before restoring haha. I might try what you did, but think I might just deal with it for now. Thanks for the reply :wink:

That is helpful! Solve my problem! Thank you!

thank you man ur my hero !

I’ve finally fixed missing icon in borderless mode in BF4. Problem is with Virtual desktops settings. Fix: START → Settings → System → Multitasking → Under Virtual desktops is setting “On the taskbar, show windows that are open on”. Change it from “Only the desktop I’m using” to “All desktops” and BF4 icon will be immediately shown.
you guys are welcome :slight_smile:

This worked for me! Thank you!

I posted the all desktops fix a few days ago on here: https://forums.battlefield.com/en-us/discussion/comment/232324/#Comment_232324 but I’ll add the image here also I guess :slight_smile:

Thanks! This method is good!

I had the same trouble and I fixed it by closing TEAMVIEWER
:slight_smile:

Nice, thank you worked perfectly!

update your drivers in device manager, i also had to run Origin in windows 8 not 10 hope this helps. o and there is a Intel driver update utility you can down load to help you get the latest drives, chipset, so on and so on. latters

Thanks again for the Fix Carbonic.

BTW if it doesn’t work for you then just wait for it to “open” because there is a brief moment when its not in background processes so just wait till you see icon on your taskbar and it should work too! ^^

Thank you so much!

This does not work for me. Game crashes to a black screen and freezes the computer about 10 to 30 seconds after I am playing in an actual game. It is doing this on Hardline also. This started with the last windows 10 update. It got worse after the last nvidia driver update.

thanks works for me 2

Please help, I don’t have the settings folder in the bf4 files.

Thanks for the solution, it worked :slight_smile:
