Windows won't maximize

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

I understand the inconvenience that you are unable to maximize/minimize the programs in Windows 10, we will help you to resolve this issue.

Kindly let us know with the following information:

• Is this issue specific to any applications/programs?
• Were you able to see the maximize, minimize and close icons?
• Have you tried to perform these using different user account?

This issue might be due to corrupted/ missing system files.

I suggest you to run System File Checker and check if it helps:

Method 1: Run the SFC.

System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

Follow the below steps:

• 
  Right click on the Start button, click on
  Command Prompt (Admin).
  
• 
  Type “sfc /scannow” without quotes and hit
  Enter.
  
• 
  After the scan, restart the computer.
  
• 
  Now check for the issue.
  

Hope this information is helpful. Kindly update the status of the issue. We will be happy to assist you.

Can't maximize apps on monitor #2

I have 2 monitors, both of which worked fine on Win 10. I moved to a different PC and Win 11. The new computer has both a Display Port (DP) and HDMI port. Both monitors are HDMI, so I purchased a DP to HDMI adapter.

I’m unable to maximize any app on monitor #2. The maximized window is too big for the monitor; i.e., I can’t see the top, bottom or either side.

I have:

• Reversed the monitors, so that the DP and adapter cable are driving the opposite monitor
  
• Installed new monitor drivers
  
• Read through the website Microsoft Community Display and Graphics site.
  

The problem follows monitor #2—any app I’ve tried won’t maximize on monitor #2 but works fine on monitor #1.

TIA for any help!
