1. Go to your Assassin’s Creed .ini file in your computer.
   Usually the path could be: C:>Users>Username>AppData>Roaming>Ubisoft>Assassin’s Creed>AOC.ini.
   Or This PC > Documents > Assassin’s Creed Origins > ACO.ini.

   

2. Open the .ini file with notepad, and change the following settings to:

   Fullscreen=0 (or WindowMaximised=0)
   WindowMode=1

3. Save the file and restart your computer.
