So I tried a lot of different things to fix the issue of my fallout 4 not going full screen, and everything I tried didn't work, basically after I leave the game for a day it starts going full screen but when I change a few mods around and disable some, the game is windowed and the main menu doens't even show, up, I could really use help figuring this issue out.

The main display settings are in fallout4prefs.ini. I believe you can copy them to fallout4custom.ini. Put them under [Display], set them the way you want and then make the file read only so programs/mods can't change it. Mine are bBorderless=1, bFull Screen=1
iSize H=1440, iSize W=2560 for full screen at 1440 resolution. The resolution should be set to your desktop resolution as the game does not always rescale properly, which may be your problem.

That's a strange one to me. I've had trouble when I alt-tabbed and then back but not otherwise.

I am guessing that you downgraded. I did a fresh install from Steam to get a clean installation. Then I used "fallout 4 downgrader" from Nexus with the option to "download depots" so I would have all original files. I never had any problems so if you are reinstalling that would be my suggestion. I suppose it's possible that one of your ini files is damaged, too. I think if you delete/rename all 3 of them and then run the game once from fallout4launcher.exe it will recreate them but I could be wrong.
