Can't set Steam-Version to borderless windowed mode

Error: "Failed resetting Direct3D device objects."

used launch arguments: --softwareaudio (thanks creative)

Steps to reproduce:

- Launch PoE in fullscreen
- Go to options
- set display mode to windowed fullscreen
- click apply display settings

Things I already did:

- I reset production_config.ini
- I reinstalled the DirectX redist package
- I updated my drivers
- I can run borderless window mode if I elevate the Steam privileges prior to running PoE


Things worthy of note:

- I can run the game in fullscreen using the same settings
- I used to be able to use the same settings (copied from a production_config.ini backup) prior to the Steam Release
- Steam Overlay is disabled

Hardware Summary:

- ASUS P8Z68-V Rev 1.xx
- Intel i5-2500k stock-settings
- AMD Radeon HD6850 stock-settings
- 16 Gigabytes of Corsair DDR3-1600@CL9
- Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty extreme gamer edition

Software Summary:

- Windows 8.1 Pro 64-Bit
- Windows Defender
- DNSCrypt
- Steam
- relevant drivers (up-to-date)
- RadeonPro

just edit the production_Config.INI and set fullscreen to false and the borderless line to true.. then start poe.
If that would work I wouldn't have posted, failure on my end to clarify.

It doesn't work.
do you run any software that puts overlays into the game window? DirectX overlays?
I listed all relevant software and their overlay status, the answer is no.
Exact same issue and also when I alt tab out, regardless of how long I have been alt tabbed out, when I go back to the game I get logged out. The weird part about not being able to change to windowed mode for me is that when I first started it was set to windowed mode. Please can someone help us out? There is a lot of hassle when I want to look something up and I am in a party or just looking stuff up in general. Please.

-edit-

I'm also on steam too.
