Quick fix without deleting any settings.
Go to the "Library" Right-click the game which needs to be reconfigured.
Select "Properties..." from the menu.
Go to the section "Launch Options" Type, -fullscreen

I'm not sure if it was coincidence or not, but switching to compatibility mode for windows 7 without fullscreen optimization worked for me

Renaming the folder instead of deleting it worked for me

But I did actually do all the other steps too, just didn’t want to delete my files and went back to this step and renamed

Thanks for your help

Pretty sad and steam should take it down until properly fixed

So number 4 works for me but for some reason if I close the game down it won’t let me back in, I’d have to repeat step 4 again anyone else have that issue?
