The game starts in windowed fullscreen and works perfectly, but when I try to switch it to fullscreen, the picture stops moving. The sound keeps playing, so you can hear me looking at the settings screen. If I use launch options to force it into fullscreen, the image doesn't show up at all, though the game still makes noise. I've tried almost everything online and on YouTube. I did a fresh reinstall of Windows, restored my computer to an old version where this didn't happen, updated both GPU drivers and other drivers, and even ran the system recovery. It only happens with Counter-Strike, never with other games. My PC has: Ryzen 5 5600X, Radeon RX 6600, Aorus Pro AC monitor, 16GB RAM on two sticks at 3600MHz specs.

Fixed it by launching Csgo.exe with Windows 8 compatibility settings enabled.
