@Roryt111 This is to do with you currently not being able to set it to "Windowed Full Screen" as reported here - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Unable-to-adjust-video-settings/m-p/9178455#M3

The other option, other than closing the game completely, is to do Alt+Tab to tab to another already opened program, which will then give you access to everything else. It will minimize C&C, but you just click to go back to it.
Just make sure you have something open before you open C&C - Steam or Origin should be enough though.

@Weeidgit Thanks, I'm using a Laptop so no Multi-screen setup!

@Roryt111 It doesnt matter if you're on multi-screen or not, its to do with the game locking itself to full screen.

@Roryt111In case you didnt see, I updated my other thread with a workaround, which should allow you to use your Start Menu again:


"I appear to have found a workaround until a proper fix is provided!

In Video Options, select Windowed (I also unticked V-Sync), then OK it, then do Windowed Full Screen and its kept it as Windowed Full Screen, VSync off, and I can again press the Start Menu to skip out.

This works for both Command and Conquer and Red Alert Video menus."
