Playing in windowed mode

What is the primary difference of playing in windowed mode maximized and fullscreen (windowed) other than the border at the top of the screen on windowed mode? Is one less strenuous on my computer? Different resolutions? Just not sure the difference.

Thanks in advance

I personally like it cause it’s easy to minimize.

but as far as impact to my PC, assume same graphics settings for both, is it all the same? Literally the ONLY difference to the game and my computer is the bar at the top?

Oh that I’m unsure of. Sorry :frowning:

You could open your task manager and see the difference with them running full screen vs windowed mode.

Well, that’s why I came here, because I dont know to do those kinds of things and was hoping someone here could tell me :slight_smile:

AH got you. Ya I’m unsure I’m sorry :frowning:

Over the years, there’s been a time or two when windowed mode didn’t work for one reason or another but generally, I never saw any real difference except of slower laptops where windowed mode seemed to be a bit more sluggish.

I found it nice to use during boring teleconferences.
