Duel Links on PC: fullscreen or windowed mode

Duel Links on Steam runs in fullscreen or in a window. Fullscreen is better for focused play. Windowed mode is better for using your PC at the same time, watching something or leaving the game farming in a corner.

Quick summary

With the game open and selected, press Alt + Enter to switch between fullscreen and windowed mode.
In a window, you can drag the game to a corner and use the rest of the screen.
For automation programs, the game needs to stay windowed and not minimized.

1. The shortcut: Alt + Enter

Click once inside the game so it is selected and press Alt + Enter. If it was windowed, it goes fullscreen. If it was fullscreen, it goes back to a window. It is the fastest way and works at any moment, even in the middle of a duel.

2. If the shortcut does not work

Make sure the game is really selected: click inside it before pressing the shortcut.
Some laptop keyboards need the Fn key too. Try Alt + Fn + Enter.
Look for a display option in the game settings, if your version has one.
Recording or overlay programs sometimes take the shortcut for themselves. Close them and try again.

3. Using your PC with the game windowed

In a window, Duel Links can sit in a corner while you browse, study or work. Two tips:

Do not minimize it: when minimized, the game stops drawing the screen and some programs can no longer see what is happening. Leave the window behind the others instead.
Keep the default size: a tiny window makes cards hard to read.

4. Fullscreen or windowed?

Fullscreen: PvP, Ranked and duels where you need to watch every card.
Windowed: farming, long events and any time you want your PC free for something else.

Leave the game windowed and farming

DuelFarm uses Duel Links in windowed mode: the game stays behind your other windows and it only clicks when you stop moving the mouse. You use your PC normally.
