Check your game settings first! Fallout 4 sometimes starts in windowed mode instead of full screen. Go to the options menu and make sure 'Full Screen' is selected. If that doesn't fix it, tweak your computer's resolution settings to match the game's recommended resolution.

Graphic card settings might be the culprit. If Fallout 4 refuses to go full screen, dive into your graphics card's control panel. Nvidia and AMD cards have their own settings that can override game settings. Look for an option about full screen mode or aspect ratio and adjust it there.

Alt+Enter is your friend! Sometimes, games like Fallout 4 don't go full screen when they first boot up. Try pressing Alt+Enter when the game is running. This keyboard shortcut toggles between windowed and full screen mode on many PC games.

Honestly, just enjoy the extra taskbar access. Playing in windowed mode means you can switch to other apps without the game minimising. It's the future, folks!
