Lightroom 6. (Standalone) W8.1 Pro. Hp, intel i7 3.3 16g mem.

1. Pressing F locks lightroom in full screen. Only way is out is using task manager to close lightroom. Tested on two different computers, same results.

2: Playing video in full screen mode, locks up lightroom, video does not scale correctly. Test on two computers same results.

    One thing to try: Alt-Tab (Windows) or Cmd-Tab (Mac) to switch out of LR. That sometimes pokes recalcitrant programs.

    I suspect this problem is specific to a subset of particular configurations, which means it will be harder for Adobe to reproduce and fix. Can you post a full-resolution screenshot of the LR window immediately before hitting F and LR getting stuck? That might provide clues about how to reproduce.

    It's the same on the Mac - I'm running quite an old machine (iMac from 2008), but it's up to using Lightroom. Every now and then I'm able to get out by pressing a key (sometimes even pressing 'F' again works), but most of the time have to force quit Lightroom.

    I have the same problem of the full screen mode locking up after upgrading to lightroom cc 2015. Its incredibly frustrating. I have to use task manager to get out. I have a dell xps 14z with windows 7 home. Intel core i7.
