Game won't open in Fullscreen
Every time I try to launch the game it starts Windowed, and trying to change the settings in game just causes the screen to hide behind the desktop.

I went online to find a solution, and it told me to double check if my drivers were up to date (they are), and to take some code into Notepad to change some values (Those values were already in the files I was supposed to change).

I bought the game when it first came out but my PC couldn't handle it, and I just put together a new PC and was getting the itch to play an RPG but I can't get this game to work for me

Just tried it, it didn't work.

Just to be thorough, I went into the Properties in my Library to make it open on -Windowed to try it and it didn't work then either

If you can get into the game at all then go into the display settings and change it to Fullscreen. Make sure you have no flags set for the game. A flag is a -windowed thing in the settings in steam. Having a different screen resolution ingame to your normal setting can cause this.

Also do not use Nvidia to change any settings, it will mess everything up.

If you cannot get into the game at all then your title is misleading.

Before I started messing with it, I'd get into the game and it'd be about 40% of my monitor. I'd go into Settings, Video, and it'd already be on Fullscreen. If I swapped it to Windowed, nothing would happen, and if I then swapped it to Fullscreen again it would disappear unless I [Alt] + [Tab]ed back over to it after which it would disappear again after a second or two. I cannot get it to appear again and have to close it from the start menu

I haven't done anything with Nvidia except checking to see if my Drivers were up to date

Completely uninstall the drivers and reinstall.

Also, if you have a fast connection, delete the game and redownload it.
Tried to uninstall/reinstall the drivers, didn't work

I tried to delete the game and redownload it four times prior to making the thread, it was one of the first things I tried :(

I have the exact issue did you ever fix it?

Make sure nothing is changing your settings, that includes any "optimizing" software from your graphics card maker.

Did you ever solve the problem. CP 2077 worked fine yesterday but now I have the same issue.
