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

-Thanks, this worked for me!!

Mine doesn’t work still, No settings folder, can’t even launch the campaign. I get the error telling me to

  1. Repair bf4 from origin (did that)
  2. restart computer (did that)
  3. update origin (yup, did this as well)
  4. close origin and try again (did that too)

The bottom of the screen error tells me I need to update. doesn’t say what, my bf4 is up to date according to origin.

that did it, Win10 Anniversay

They still haven’t fixed this issue. If i put it in borderless windowed mode it launches in the background and i have to use this fix. It’s annoying because i have two monitors and i like to have it in borderless mode so i can use my other monitor without the game tabbing out. Come on EA!

Thank you! Worked for me.

It’s caused by Windows, not the game.

just leave it, it’s the max fps your monitor can handle. it’s different for every monitor

workaround for borderless; when you start new game, click on the windows 10 taskbar where the game should appear. When it flashes and you click on it, you will have the game on screen but if you miss the opportunity you’ll have to retry.

@iCHarris Joining the party late and I’m not sure If you will even get this. So I got this problem around the same time as everyone else. Couldn’t find this thread and then at the time rage quit the problem and deleted everything. Fast forward to today and for some reason this is still a f***ing problem. I tried to find the proper POFSAVE_profile file but couldn’t. So I then downloaded the link as you suggested to the other guy above. My question is where should I put the saved settings if I don’t even have a settings folder for battlefield 4… So if you somehow get this pls help… clueless idiot.
Thanks

It works, thanks!

If you don’t have a settings folder, it is because you have Cloud Storage turned on in Origin.

GÊNIO obrigado por ajudar, já estava perdendo a cabeça, você é man

Could it be that anything with the complexity of an OS and being that the software giant figured are giving or were giving away the Swiss cheese within the algorithm attack to the code.
It might just be the software. Windows 8.1 doesn’t have the issues 10 does especially anything up in the Enterprise software. Mainstream OS’s downloaded from a mainstream internet uplink were meant purposely to be hacked, tracked and always attacked.
Stupid, what part can society Not get past

Just wanted to say thanks because finally it works for me

Thanks!

After a few days researching and trying various tips without success, I finally found a solution for myself.

In my case the game only works in 32bit mode so do the following:

1 - Open the game library by Origin.
2 - Right-click on the top of the BF4 and select game properties.
3 - Navigate the tabs until you find the launch option of the game, change from x64 to x32.
4 - Ok and open the game.
5 - After running the game for the first time it will create a Battlefield 4 folder in your documents.
6 - Quit the game and go to the Documents folder, edit the PROFSAVE_profiles file and change the OverallGraphicsQuality 0 key to OverallGraphicsQuality 5.
7 - Open the game again and the graphic options can be modified.
