Disable fullscreen optimizations

Question

Hello,

I just have a quick question about the option for "disable fullscreen optimizations." To get there, I right click a .exe app or a game and click compatibility. The problem is whenever I do check this option, alt tabbing takes significantly longer when enabling this for a game where it just gives me a 3 second backscreen period instead of alt tabbing immediately.  I have the same resolution and refresh rate set for both windows and the game. This also does not happens with my friends. 

I wanted to know if their is another solution to this other than changing the game to windowed fullscreen since I prefer playing at fullscreen.

I have attached a photo of the option to disable fullscreen optimization. 

Any help is much appreciated!

I've no idea why, with only one of the three monitors connected, you would have Alt\TAB lag on two of the three monitors. ![](https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/c852b21b-4b11-456e-8b1b-16cba73f4fdf?platform=QnA
