I just upgraded to Windows 10 from 7, and everything seems to be fine except that when I Alt-Tab to Firefox, the Windows task bar comes up and won’t go away. I never had this happen in 7, so I’m assuming it’s an issue with 10. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, is there a fix, or should I just use full screen mode instead?
Where is BORDERLESS WINDOW MODE? Most modern games allow you to use borderless window so you can take up the entire screen and still have access to your mouse (on menu screens). Why is this option not available in JC3? Showing 1 - 5 of 5 comments. The crash happens whener I try to change the game to borderless full screen. It also happens when I press alt + tab while in fullscreen mode. If I try to start the game in borderless window it crashes right after opening. I started having this problem after installing a second monitor. In fullscreen mode I get the fps I set in OW options, but windowed and borderless is limited to 60 fps. I fixed this issue by going to windows monitor settings, and assigning monitor specific fps limit (advanced settings). It turns out Windows limits the framerate to 60fps in. Hello guys i created this topic because i want share something i discover while playing SE. This works for all games without mods needed. Here some examples: 800x500 windowed mode a shitty resolution i don't play i used for test. Same resolution upscaled without quality lose and better fps.
Thanks!
There’s no fix as such that I’m aware of, but pressing Start and then clicking the game window again usually fixes it when it happens.
Happens sometimes for me on Seven, it either goes away alone or i switch to windowed and back to bordeless and it goes away. But it doesn’t happen that often neither.
I have a different issue with borderless windowed that started as of patch 3.0. When using dual monitors, the second monitor will suddenly lag horridly. This is noticeable mostly when watching video on the second screen and the framerate drops to 2-5 FPS. Why do I even mention this? A fix that I found was to go into system configuration, change to full screen, select “No” when it asks if you want to keep those settings, then close system config. This fixes my issue and there’s a chance it may address yours?
Well I mean… that’s 4 years ago (if you don’t count this year since this year’s new models haven’t yet come out). The Intel Iris 6100 seems to have significantly better benchmarks than the 4000 anyway, which almost comes off as an endorsement if you managed 30 fps at 800p low, since then the 6100 should be able to run it at fairly higher resolution/settings, and FFXIV certainly isn’t a game that needs 60fps+ (though it’s certainly nice).
I have a late 2011 model with the 1GB Radeon HD. The game ran fine and only stuttered when there were a lot of Buy FFXIV Power leveling character models around. I never tried to uncap my frame rate with Windower, but I don’t think I would have hit 60 FPS.
Are you using auto-hide for the taskbar?
There are a few things that can cause the behavior you’re describing in different contexts. One of which is Windows UI notifications (not to be confused with the toasts that come up in the Action Center in Windows 10) not being coded to terminate properly, which can result in Windows thinking there’s an unviewed application notification either in an open application on the taskbar or in the system tray.
In this situation, cycle through all of your windows, deselecting the window by clicking on the desktop after every one, and see if the taskbar auto-hides afterward. If that doesn’t make it automatically hide again, do the same but right-clicking on all of the icons (including the hidden ones you have to expand to see) in the taskbar. This should help you figure out which program is the offending one. This can also be caused by a web browser, depending on what you’re using it for.

If that doesn’t fix it, right-click on your taskbar and select Properties, toggle the auto-hide option, and click OK, and then repeat. This functions as a sort of “reset” to auto-hide, and can work if there’s a notification somewhere that is no longer tied to an active application, yet hasn’t been resolved.
If you’re not using auto-hide and the taskbar is simply appearing above the game window in Borderless Windowed mode, simply click on the taskbar and then click in the game window again, and it should resolve the issue for now. Alternatively, you could try using auto-hide so that the taskbar automatically collapses down to the few-pixels-high bar at the bottom of the screen, which at least takes up much less screen real estate.

That is literally the reason I went back to 7 after 10… Many months ago. I’m sad to hear it’s still an issue. Hope someone can figure something out.

I used to have this problem but it disappeared a few builds ago. You might want to change the monitor you’re playing ffxiv on, so that you don’t have any taskbar at all you can’t make disappear.
