What I meant was to right click WoW.exe, select Properties and then take a screenshot solely of the Compatibility Tab, like this:

This is what it is for me right now. im not sure what exactly it tells you

Thanks. It looks like the compatibility troubleshooter didn't actually make any changes so it appears that the SET gxWindow "1" setting stuck. This should be useful for others that come across this problem. Thank you for the followup.

Edit: I just noticed that in the first screenshot you sent, it applied the 'Windows compatibility mode: Windows XP (Service Pack 2)' setting. It probably wasn't a factor but something to keep in mind just in case.

You're welcome. I've noticed that, since getting it corrected the first time, I now always need to run as admin, or it does the same thing.

after adding the SETgxWindow "1" to the config.wtf file, if you right click wow.exe, run the troubleshoot compatibility, use recommended settings, then try opening the file and if it still does it, alt+tab over, and the game should launch in a window ... log in, change settings in game, and you should be good

Worked for me. Thanks!
