Noerknhar.3826 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Hi all,updated Windows 10 to build 18362.356 today. Trying to get into the game since then. Have updated my drivers to see if this helps, but unfortunately, it did not. Every other game I tested works just fine, it's GW2 that seems to have a problem.Starting the game with -windowed works, but the moment I switch back to full screen, the game icon just disappears from the task bar and I'm back on my Desktop. No error message, no nothing. Tried -repair as well, also deleted temp files from game folder.Any suggestions? This really is a problem, especially on reset day...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Tried rolling back the Windows update? You can Google how to keep it from updating, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noerknhar.3826 Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 Thanks for your reply, but keeping an outdated and insecure OS is not an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Your choice. I'm sure Microsoft doesn't feel it is an issue, since they are the ones that tell you how to do it.Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pounce.2370 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Ah, someone else who is having the same problem I am. Ever since the windows update its an instant crash if I try to fullscreen it or take a screenshot. Can still play in borderless windowed mode fine, but neither running -repair or uninstalling/reinstalling has helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should always be updating your PC, and Anet should be updating GW2 after every update to W10. Microsoft does think it's an issue to not use updates, that is why they made them virtually unable to be disabled, you can snooze them for 30 days, and the only way to permanently disable them is to do it at the service level, and even then it doesn't actually stay off, there is no permanent solution other than using Windows Server and setting up WSUS.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 No one suggested permanently turning off updates; merely rolling back a problematic one. Which is what MicroSoft suggests. Geez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studark.5917 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I have EVGA Percision X and I can control my video card fan. oddly I had the same problem until I turned my GPU fan to 100% and everything runs ok now. I believe the update causes the graphic cards to run hot or stop for whatever reason, no idea not a teki, I am using Nvidia GTX 1070 and I updated to that as well for gears 5 now every game I play the fan has to be on 100% or the games crash. back when 1803 rolled out I had the same problem and several updates later it was fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
