Difference between Fullscreen and Full-window?
Both fill the screen with the Amiga image, but whilst clicking the middle mouse button in Fullscreen puts the Windows desktop back on, in Full-window the mouse pointer appears instead. So basically, Full-window is basically Windowed that fills the whole screen but is still on the desktop, right?
I ask this because I have realised that I have fullscreen issues with Windows 10 and DirectX 9, so I'd like to use the next best thing (Full-window) which should clear up those problems by avoiding Fullscreen altogether. |

I experience problems with fullscreen too, not only with winuae but also with several other programs, and indeed full-window is fine in this regard.
We had something real great with Intuition screens, btw. Stupid peecees |

Fulscreen on the other side changes the screen resolution to the one which you have setup. This may cause 1~2 sec delay, before the actual emulated screen is displayed, due to the graphics card need to change the resolution. Fullwindow does not have this delays, and you can still access other apps by using alt tab. Fullscreen resolution are recommended for slow pc's, because you can gain emulation speed, but on new'ish pc's this is not noticeable. |

fullscreen is messing up icons (especially on systems with more than one monitor).
fullwindow does not cause these kind of problems... |

It didn't mess up my icons since windows 10. I have 2 monitors (HD+UHD) and I use custom resolutions like 320x180 in fullscreen all the time...

On my 8.1 fullscreen messes up timings completely. Everything becomes slow and sluggish.

This is getting too offtopic and nothing to do with WinUAE.

Let's get back on topic, then:
I noticed that when I go in Full-window, Low Latency Vsync (50/60Hz) no longer works, probably because I'm on the desktop. I've also noticed that WinUAE is now subject to the Desktop Windows Manager and its Vsync ability. So why not just use DWM Vsync as opposed to Low Latency Vsync? It actually seems I have no choice, as it's imposed on the Desktop. |

This has indeed nothing to do with WinUAE or Win7/Win10 directly. I've never had issues with WinUAE in fullscreen mode, no matter what Windows version i used for it (Windows 10 atm). Your systems are messed up somehow, e.g. due to drivers, installed tools, OS settings etc.

Totally agree
...if you don't know how to install an OS, download / configure device drivers properly, then I fail to see how this is a WinUAE issue / Toni's problem? |

Firstly, sorry for the off topic Toni
Ok, let's be honest... If you are going to use any *new* Micro$oft OS then, really you are a beta tester for at least 2 years until they work out all the issues and it becomes stable. That's fine if you are technical and have the time / patience to: ... Read forums / latest bug fixes etc. ... Apply all the latest fixes / patches; OS and driver related etc. Most "normal" people don't have the time and wouldn't even know where to start... We are rolling out "Windows 10 / Office 2016" at my work; it's a huge project worldwide. There's good reason why the majority of corporations are usually a few years behind any M$ OS releases Anyway, if I was you, forget Windows 10 for a year or so and go back to the stable Windows 7 OS. ...or, keep up-to-date with everything. |

The only way you could get past all these issues you've had latetly is to ask a friend to setup a fresh system for you. There is no way that somebody could help you here properly. Remote maintenance is obviously not working. Maybe it sounds harsh or even rude, but that's the way i would go.

And Toni, sorry about the extensive talk of Windows, but I am also talking about WinUAE, even if only a bit. |

*technical* people would try things thoroughly, give exact details of the scenario / issues encountered, document every step taken to replicate and then finally provide substantial questions (which you've failed at in virtually every thread you've raised, as far as I can see)... ...and to top it off, you then blame WinUAE Anyway, this is going to sound harsh, but personally I really can't be bothered replying to your endless threads / questions anymore... I've spend way too much time in the past trying to assist you; only to be told; "Nah, not great, going back to how it was." The boy who cried wolf, bored now |
