Hey,
I have a similiar problem: when I change settings below 1920x1080 it automatically goes to windowed mode. If I choose "full screen" the game minimize itself and I can't open it again like a other program is holding full screen priority. Even after restarting the game Annoying as hell. Pleeease help.

 

[Katsurazero]

Well my problem is more that i simple dont have the option for Fullscreen. Only Window mode.

I'm currently having this problem with cyberpunk 2077 now as well. I don't even have the option to choose fullscreen, only Windowed or Windowed Borderless.

Same here can't pick fullscreen... and windowed is set too 1080 but it is still a small window. think it might be a windows 7 problem with new drivers.

Same problem here, started the game with an older Nvidia driver, it crashed twice, I upgraded to the latest driver, now the game starts but in a window and no option anywhere to go fullscreen again.... This is a joke. Have they not tested the game AT ALL on any setup except their dev computers?

Hello guys, same problem here. I just need to close the game and open it again to be able to play :/

I would recommend following these steps from CDPR support:

I'm not sure if any of the Nvidia Control Panel settings might help...

It might also be a good idea to update Windows, in case it hasn't been updated in a while.

I have this same issue. Went to "contact them", haven't heard back and it's been 2 and a half days

Try the following:

1. Search the following file: C:\Users\*your PC username*\AppData\Local\CD Projekt Red\Cyberpunk 2077/UserSettings.json
2. Open it with Notepad++ or similar program and search for the following lines (starts at line 908 for me):

"name": "WindowMode",
"type": "string_list",
"is_dynamic": true,
"value": "BorderlessWindowed",
"index": 1

Now change them to the following (important stuff in bold):

"name": "WindowMode",
"type": "string_list",
"is_dynamic": true,
"value": "Fullscreen",
"index": 2

I think something is messed up with the UserSettings.json esp. when I try HDR.

If anyone is having the minimizing problem and cannot open in full screen this worked for me:

1. With the game NOT running, open the UserSettings.json file (see below).
2. Remove the following using notepad or a txt viewer:
   

   {
   "name": "WindowMode",
   "type": "string_list",
   "is_dynamic": true,
   "value": "Fullscreen",
   "index": 2
   },

3. Restart game.

Note: The game will be forced into "Windows Borderless" mode, so maybe you can just change the "value" instead but I want to play and don't want to do any RCA on this!

Lastly, If I enable HDR all this garbage minimizing starts happening. It looks all washed out in this mode anyway and looks better on my Dell 32" Gaming Monitor in Standard.

Hope it works for you if you still cannot play the game!

Try the following:

1. Search the following file: C:\Users\*your PC username*\AppData\Local\CD Projekt Red\Cyberpunk 2077/UserSettings.json
2. Open it with Notepad++ or similar program and search for the following lines (starts at line 908 for me):

"name": "WindowMode",
"type": "string_list",
"is_dynamic": true,
"value": "BorderlessWindowed",
"index": 1

Now change them to the following (important stuff in bold):

"name": "WindowMode",
"type": "string_list",
"is_dynamic": true,
"value": "Fullscreen",
"index": 2

My game started minimizing itself when in fullscreen mode today, even though previously everything was fine.

Solved the problem by updating the GPU driver and by verifying the game files via steam game settings (Right click the game, Propotise, Local files, Verfiy local files ).

Hope this helps someone.

UPD: nevermind, same issue after restart

If you dont even have the option to go Full screen, its because of FSR 3. To fix it , you need to disable FSR 3, apply the setting, restart, you should then be able to select Fullscreen, the option will have appeared upon restart, after you enable Fullscrren, turn FSR 3 back on, Apply again, and you should be good to go.
