Why Won't Apex Legends Go Full Screen?
If Apex Legends won't go full screen, it's usually a settings issue. Dive into the video settings in the game and make sure 'Full Screen' is selected instead of 'Windowed' or 'Borderless Window'. Sometimes, games glitch out and don't save your settings, so double-checking never hurts. Also, try pressing Alt+Enter when in-game to force it into full screen mode. If that doesn't do the trick, check your graphics card settings. NVIDIA and AMD have their own control panels where you can set specific games to run in full screen by default.

Had the same problem after an update once. Updating my graphics drivers fixed it. Seems like Apex Legends gets finicky with outdated drivers. Worth a shot before you start messing with game files or anything drastic.
Honestly, I just play in windowed mode. Full screen is overrated and makes alt-tabbing a nightmare. Plus, you can't see your Discord notifications.
Quick fix: Just hit Alt+Enter. Works like a charm most of the time for any game that's being stubborn about going full screen.
