How To Make Genshin Impact Borderless Windowed

Alright, Traveler! You're ready to dive into Teyvat, right? But hold on a sec! Are you tired of Genshin Impact hogging your entire screen like a greedy Ruin Guard?

Fear not! I'm here to tell you how to wrestle control back and embrace the glorious world of borderless windowed mode! Prepare to be amazed by the sheer convenience.

The Alt + Enter Tango: A Classic Approach

First things first, let's try the old reliable – the Alt + Enter tango. Seriously, it's like a magic trick!

Just launch Genshin Impact. Now, while the game is running, press and hold the Alt key on your keyboard. While holding Alt, press the Enter key. Boom!

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's a bit like relying on Paimon for directions, but it's worth a shot, right?

The In-Game Settings Scavenger Hunt

Okay, so the Alt + Enter tango didn't work? Don't panic! We're going on an adventure to the in-game settings!

Open Genshin Impact and navigate to the main menu. It usually involves pressing the Esc key, or clicking on Paimon’s icon.

Now, find the Settings option. Look for something about Graphics. This is where the magic happens!

Keep your eyes peeled for a dropdown menu labeled something like Display Mode or Window Mode. You'll want to change it from Fullscreen to Borderless or Borderless Windowed.

Click that apply button, and you're golden! It’s like pulling a 5-star character on your first wish!

The Launcher Launchpad: A Pre-Flight Check

Still no luck? Don't worry, we've got another trick up our sleeve! Let's tweak things from the Genshin Impact launcher itself.

Close the game entirely. Now, open the Genshin Impact launcher, the thing you use to start the game.

Before hitting that launch button, look for a Settings button (it usually looks like a gear). Click it!

You might find an option to choose the Window Mode here, setting it to Borderless before the game even starts. It's like setting up your perfect team comp before entering a domain!

The .ini File Fix: For the Truly Determined Traveler

Okay, this one's a bit more advanced, but don't be scared! We're diving into the game's configuration files – think of it as tinkering with the Ley Line Outcrops.

First, locate your Genshin Impact installation folder. Find the Genshin Impact Game folder, and then look for a file named config.ini or something similar. Open it with a text editor like Notepad.

Look for lines related to windowMode or fullscreen. Change the values to reflect Borderless or 0 for windowed mode. It’s like solving a complicated puzzle!

Save the file, and launch Genshin Impact. Hopefully, you're now in borderless windowed bliss!

You Did It!

Congratulations, Traveler! You've conquered the quest for borderless windowed mode! Now you can switch between Genshin Impact and other apps with the grace of a Venti gliding through the air!

Go forth and explore Teyvat in all its borderless glory! Happy gaming!
