Can't Play In Windowed Mode

Hey!

So I've been having this issue with just this realm lately (actually moved to it this morning but I had to sit in a 3 hour queue) where if I attempt to tab out from the game, it doesn't allow me back into it. What happens is the game overlays my entire screen but I can't actually see the game. I had to force shut off my computer to even get rid of it.

I tried to click on windowed mode in the options too but the game just straight up crashes when I click 'Apply'. I honestly don't know what could be causing this. I'm playing with a friend and they are not having any of the same issues I am. The only addons I have are Carbonite Maps (my friend has it too) and Bagnon. I haven't seen any topics on this but I'm just wondering if I'm alone on this :/

Thanks in advance!

Sometimes (especially when you tab game while loading area) windowed mode f.. up. The only way i know is turn off windowed mode adn check it back, but it cant be done while you are in que :D ( you can always try to leave que fast change options and back to que again, it should back to your position in que before leave- i dont reccomend this version xD)

Alright, sounds like a plan, I'll try it out and see how it works :D

if you have radeonpro/nvidia inspector try turning them off

put this in your wow/WTF/config.wtf file: SET gxwindow "1"
and make it read only

Alright that worked for the most part now do you have a solution to the abysmal framerate? :D Thank you so much tho! Wish the game didn't poop itself when I try doing that normally.
I was wondering if there was anyway of stopping the crashing when I tab out of the game, that's the most upsetting part of sitting in queue.

Problem solved! Don't be an ***** like me and not run the program as admin.
