Long time user of this wonderful renderer. I'm using it with JRiver.
For some reason when I upgraded my GPU to an Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti, MadVR will periodically refuse to go into FSE, and instead uses Windowed mode (despite the correct settings being used). This is always fixed by a reboot.
I think I have this narrowed down to this item from the logs:
00018740.081 Render D3D11 fullscreen windowed (8 bit)
00018740.081 Render covered by some windows
00018740.083 Render madVR window [madVR] {0,0,3840,2160}
00018741.395 Render covered by explorer.exe window [ThumbnailDeviceHelperWnd] {0,0,1,1}
I "think" that MadVR sees this ThumbnailDeviceHelper window (hidden from the windows user), and then subsequently does not enter fullscreen exclusive mode?
This is verified by rebooting my PC which gets rid of this hidden explorer.exe window and then all works correctly and FSE works. But, of course this is windows we are talking about and the helper window randomly reappears...?!?
If someone can shed light on this hidden window and how to stop it in Windows 10 LTSC that would be great. MadVR logs and system info are found here:
