Hi
I had this bug too. I used to play in borderless window mode and it works fine on my system. Yesterday i switched to fullscreen mode and instead of the game being launched i had a crash with blackscreen, nothing worked anymore, no alt+tab out and also no ctrl+alt+del. i had to powershutdown my computer twice
I knew it was due to fullscreenmode but i didn't know how to change it back to borderless window, as i could not go to the starting screen and the optios menue anymore. Finally i had the idea to change it in NVIDIA GeForce experience: choose the game "Witcher 3", then klick on the small tool (wrench icon) next to the "optimize" button, and there choose "borderless window".
Then the game launched again and i could go back to my old settings in the options menue.
:victory:

P.S.: If it does not work for you in borderless windowed mode and you only can play in windowed, then maximise the window.

Thanks for the reply Udju

I'll give this a go cheers !!

Well it wouldn't let you just "max" the window but did you looked at your resolution while you have the windowed mode active? It may have been set to a lower one. If you set it back up to 1920*1080, the window should be big enough.
