[QUOTE="gust334, post: 276044, member: 7347"] In the course of testing cabinet beta v1.70.28d today, I was able to reproduce the reported issue in this thread. And I confirmed an identical behavior with cabinet release v1.70.27. In my case, if I use the configuration utility to set DX11 Fullscreen mode, then I get a black screen instead of the initial playfield/menu screen. The DMD and backglass, which are on different physical monitors, appear normally. The instant I use Alt-Tab to switch to any task, the playfield/menu appears normally. It doesn't matter if I switch to a TPA task or a third-party program (Notepad, Windows Task Manager, etc.) But, when I use the configuration utility to set DX11 Windowed mode, then all three screens appear normally and on top of other windows at TPA cabinet launch. I do not need to Alt-Tab anywhere. When I run cabinet mode in DX11 Windowed, the windows appear borderless. I can butt them together or even adjust them to overlap. So I don't see any particular advantage to running fullscreen vs. windowed, at least on my system. FYI, Windows 10 Home 64-bit, fully patched and current, with three physical 1920x1080p screens.
