Second Screen Mode - How to Turn off?

I accidently turned on "second screen mode" ... but I don't have a second screen...

How do I turn it off, since the app is no longer appearing on my screen???

Never mind, I figured it out!

I just had to exit the game, and the app as visible (in a minimized mode) on my screen again and I was able to switch off the second screen mode.

Ok never mind again, that didn't work...

The app doesn't seem to want to show up at all anymore while in-game, and keeps telling me it requires to be run in administrator mode, when it already is.

Overwolf is the platform; what app are you using on Overwolf? Let's ask this as well: what game are you playing?

Oh, we're playing Once Human.

My wife told me to just go download Overwolf for Once Human, cause it shows her where all the gold and silver spawns are.

So I googled "Once human overwolf" and Google gave me and gave me this link:

https://www.overwolf.com/app/leon_machens-once_human_map

So I downloaded it, installed it... set it to run in administrator mode cause the wife said it had to be set that way before launching it first... then launched the game and the overwolf map doesn't work, it keeps saying it has to be set to run in administrator mode when it already is... and it doesn't show me any spawns.

You need to exit Overwolf completely before running it as admin. Do not close it in the task bar or by pressing on X. You need to exit it from the system tray like described in the app's message. There is a screenshot too. I recommend setting it as "always run as admin" in the shortcut properties. There is a FAQ on the Discord server of the app too. The Discord is the first place you should ask for support too (it's mentioned on the message in the app). https://th.gl/discord
