Programs and games crash on the desktop, failing to launch properly in any windowed or borderless interface
The games experience issues similar to the video clips whenever clicked, and software problems also occur. Switching to full screen and then borderless window mode seems to help. Please share the video for further guidance. 2025-01-03 07-38-30.mkv
This strange problem might be related to CS2 itself. Verifying the integrity of its files could be the simplest approach. If fullscreen or borderless mode isn't working properly, try checking the .exe file in your game or Steam folder and adjusting the fullscreen settings. The elements visible on the screen—like the taskbar and top bar—suggest the issue could be from the game, the window manager, or a GPU driver problem.
You recently reinstalled drivers using DDU, but they remain installed. Feel free to explore what you discover. Thanks!
I agreed, though I believe it's different. This problem seems to have existed for a long time.
Before the latest display, could you try restoring all window configurations back to their original state without affecting any data?
I don't have any tool that could handle this, the process seems a bit frustrating. If you have more than one drive available for storing your files, this issue might be unique enough to deserve its own article. One of the few reasons strange program behavior can occur is related to hardware upgrades like CPU, GPU, RAM, etc., without needing to reinstall Windows.
I set up a new account on my computer and the problem disappeared, meaning it’s likely a software-related issue. I plan to restart components individually to identify the cause.
