How can you run Genshin Impact in borderless windowed mode?
A non-Steam solution I've found:
- Navigate to the
C:\Program Files\Genshin Impact\Genshin Impact Game
path and locate the GenshinImpact.exe executable. - Right-click to create a Shortcut to the executable.
- Right-click the Shortcut to open its properties
- In the
Target
field, append the string-popupwindow
after whatever is currently inside the box.
Whenever you launch using the shortcut it should now start Genshin Impact in borderless windowed mode.
Make sure to press Alt + Enter when the game has launched.
This isn't available in the game to my knowledge, but there is a workaround that the community has found that may work for you. If you have Steam installed on your PC:
- Open Steam.
- Click "Games" in the top left corner, and in the submenu select "Add a Non-Steam Game."
- A window will pop up, but don't select the game from there. Instead, click on "Browse."
- Navigate to your Genshin Impact root folder. Find the "Genshin Impact Game" folder. Inside, select Genshinimpact.exe, then hit "Open" and hit "Add Selected Programs".
- From your Steam library, right-click "GenshinImpact", then click "Browse."
- Click "Set Launch Options" and add the line "-popupwindow." Hit "OK."
- Launch the game. If it starts the game in fullscreen, hold Alt + Enter to set it to borderless window mode.
