This seemed to have started after the creators update. But when I press the windows button or tab out to my other monitor. Sometimes my main monitor turns fuzzy and when I turn the monitor off to turn back on the game isn’t detected and it crashed and I need to do a hard reset. Any fixes for this?
I have to play on fullscreeen because my second monitor is 60hz and main is 144hz. What could be causing this?

Do you run an NVidia graphics card? These steps may help.
We’ve seen an influx of situations where laptops are using the incorrect graphics card in Overwatch after this most recent Windows update. Follow the steps below to resolve it.
First, you need to set your Power Management settings to the high performance setting . If you don’t have a performance/quality setting already, you can use the left hand side of the power plan window to create one.
Now that this is done:
Right click your desktop and go to Nvidia Control Panel
Select Manage 3d Settings from the left menu
Click the Program Settings tab
Select the Overwatch Application in the list. If it isn’t there, Add it using the option next to the drop down
In the options below, find CUDA - GPUs
Set this to your Nvidia card, then click Apply
Select Configure Surround, PhysX from the left menu
Toggle the PhysX settings dropdown to use your Nvidia card.
Finally, reset the game settings to force it to pick up the changes.
Only do this if the game is being run on a secondary monitor:
Launch the game and go to the video settings
Toggle Target Display setting to use your laptop monitor.
Toggle the windowed/fullscreen setting to Windowed
Restart the game
Move the game to your normal monitor.
