Kinda funny, just yesterday, my kid found a solution for the issues he
was having with fallout 4, and it was switching to use a local account
fallout 4 , was opening in window mode only, and no matter what we did
it refused to read the setting to open full screen, also the game was
not saving anything
he kept searching online, until he found someone suggesting to use a
local account, and bingo, it fixed everything
i am not sure exactly why , but it seem it has to do with your home directory
going through onedrive if you use an ms account , and this messed up the game
ability to read settings and save progress
Always remember those keyboard shortcuts! They will save you when weird stuff happens.
With regards to OneDrive - just remove it and things work better. On older Win10 releases you have to manually remove it (shell extension and everything) but Win11 and latest Win10 you can just uninstall it from what I have seen.
