What happens when the bug occurs? Each time I load the game from origin it is in windowed mode and I have to manually change it to full screen. It wont remember this setting and launches the next time as a window. Not Game breaking but very annoying.

Each time I load the game from origin it is in windowed mode and I have to manually change it to full screen. It wont remember this setting and launches the next time in window mode despite me applying full screen. Not Game breaking but annoying.

You right click the Apex game and go to game properties.

If you open Origin launcher and open the application settings in the top left Origin drop menu, and go to Installs and saves.

You can choose to store your saved game locally or through cloud.

Try unticking and applying then start the game change the window setting then close everything including the Origin launcher.

Do this twice just incase.

I've observed this bug when I click anything else while Apex Legends is launching (during the anti-cheat window). I'll occasionally use this time to switch my audio output device from speakers to headset, and when Apex launches, it is in windowed mode.

try going to your user files and go into saved games > respawn > apex > local.

Nvidia Graphics was the reason mine was opening in windowed mode. I tried everything and nothing worked. Finally I looked into my Nvidia Graphics and lone behold that is what was making all my games open in windowed mode!!!!! search Nvidia in the search bar.

-Nvidia Control Panel

-Adjust desktop size and position

-Select full screen (For some reason aspect ratio was not working properly on my pc)
