The way metadata download work is the same between two modes. I can even see metadata downloads being started in your logs, in Fullscreen mode, after new games have been added. My only guess is you somehow interrupted that download.

Also just switching modes would not suddenly populate metadata because metadata download is automatically done only for newly added games, and there wouldn't be new games added since they were already imported in previous Fullscreen instance.

So not really sure what's going on here. Can you make a video of the issue?

I'm having the same issue, The game gets added but does not show from the main view (recently added) , if i use search i can see the game but clicking show details does nothing, so it seems its in the database with metadata. It used to show the game as it was being added, before the metadata was added (just title on default tile) and would see the games get the metadata as it scanned. now after a scan for new games i have to restart playnite to see them.

Behavior you described is exactly what some people on Discord reported to be caused by latest SuccessStory plugin update, it's somehow breaking Playnite from receiving data update callbacks. It's not an issue with Playnite itself.
