Something wrong with dual monitors

When I first started playing the game I could move my cursor over to the other monitor (out of the game) when I was in any menu in game, and then to get back into the game I just clicked somewhere. It was working very smoothly and there were no performance issues at all. However after the Craglorn update this is no longer working and I have to alt tab out every time to get onto the other monitor - and a lot of the time the second monitor will just go blank when I go back into the game. I'm not great with computers but my performance is much worse now that I have to keep alt tabbing, and can't play it in windowed mode either.

Has anybody else had this issue?

    I heard you wanna change from Fullscreen to Windowed Fullscreen now.

    Yes, that did the trick for me too. Now I just need a reality distortion field so it looks like I am staring at something work related while I am actually playing ESO and then things will be just about perfect!

    Afaik they added real fullscreen with Craglorn because it was nessary for stuff like SLI to work. And set real Fullscreen to new default.

    Yep, Windowed Full Screen works just like Full Screen used to with dual monitors.

    Yes, after the patch, the game defaults to Fullscreen now.

    Ah man thank you for this, I didn't realise the option would be in game but you guys chatting about it like it was so obvious made me find it. Now it's back exactly to how it was. Hoorah!
