Game opens in Full Screen mode

[zerkeros]

Idk why or how it happened, but every time I open the game lately, it opens in Full Screen mode. It doesn't matter whether I switch to Windowed or Borderless Fullscreen modes, every time I open my PC and open the game, this happens.

Yes, I obviously tried these steps! But it doesn't matter because when I turn on my PC and open the game, it's still in fullscreen mode! Every other setting is saved normally, as it should. Hells, I even inspected the file where the settings are saved to see if it was in Read Only mode, but it wasn't
