Windows 10: Left 1/2 of open programs keeps dissapearing

I rarely use my desktop, except for printing shipping labels & documents. All of a sudden, within a few minutes of opening any app (ie: Chrome, Stamps, etc) the left 1/2 of the window disappears completely. This was both before & after Windows 10 Update. Help, please?
