Tf2 Black Screen Windows 10
I have all my settings set to broadcast TF2 on Twitch. I can view everything fine (desktop, etc), except for any games I try and play. When broadcasting everyone gets a black screen, but they can hear any sounds that happen in game fine. The only issue is that they can't see anythign but a black screen. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? There's this really annoying issue that I've been facing for the past week or so. Whenever I play TF2 and I alt+tab out of the game, all my monitors go black. Same thing when I press the close button. When the game is open, I have steam open on my second monitor and I receive incoming messages and Skype calls, so it's not like my PC is frozen.
I'm sure Arda mentioned this in chat, and it was mentioned in the site too, but for the life of me I wasted 15 minutes trying to get back into TF2 after alt-tabbing out, then wasted 15 minutes trying to find the relevant piece of information again.
So I'll ask: how do you turn 'fake fullscreen' (windowed mode maximized without border) in TF2, L4D, HL2 and the other Source games?

Use the following as your command line: (From the library right click on the game, then pick Properties → Set Launch Options.)
-sw means 'Start Windowed.' -noborder tells Windows to not draw borders (titlebar, window buttons) around the window.
You can also designate screen size (e.g. -w 640 -h 480), skip the intro video (-novideo), turn on low violence mode in L4D (-lv) and other options that may or not mean anything to you. A fuller list can be found here.
