Can't play in Fullscreen

★★★ Newbie

Every time I start playing it launches in windowed mode and then I go to the settings and I change to full screen and the screen turns black but I can still hear the in game sound.

If someone knows why this is happening please tell me.

My specs are:

   i7-8750H

   Gtx 1050

   8Gb of ram
