Battlefield 4 not starting up

★ Novice

Ok so I haven't played Battlefield 4 in a while so I decided to play some today, I still had it installed on my PC, just downloaded some DLCs and the game is not starting up. The first few times the game was starting but then quickly closed, now nothing, on the Battlelog site it says "Playing Battlefield 4 on PC", the bf4.exe process is there in task manager as well but no sign of the game anywhere, it worked fine before, I tried repairing the game through Origin, tried different servers, restarting my PC, switching from Chrome to Mozilla, still nothing.

The Windows 10 anniversary update brought with it a bug that makes the game not appear if you run in anything else than fullscreen. Try resetting the BF4 settings by removing your settings. You do so by removing the settings folder located at: 

C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\Battlefield 4\settings
