    Minimising & full screen mode problems


    This is something that is driving me crazy *Confused So I thought I would share & hope someone has found a problem.

    2 systems identical other than the CPU, 1 is FX 8350 & the other is FX 8370.
    Anyways. System A I use & have had windows 10 installed, updated along with other software I use & so forth. The other, System B I freshly installed windows 10 only, no apps or software other than 1 game I play on system A.
    So, My problem is full screen mode & random minimisation of full screen windows. Both systems randomly minimise any full screen windows be it movies or games & both have problems with full screen modes on any game. When I first load up any game full screen, all is as it should be. However if I have to minimise to desktop or the system does it for me against my will, when I maximise the game again, its bigger than my actual screen. I have to disable full screen mode within the games settings & re enable it to fix this.

    I've googled & I'm not the only one with this problem & it is really really annoying *Mad

    So, anyone got any ideas?

    :)

    Random minimising & incorrect full screen sizes

    I'm experiencing 2 very annoying problems. The first one is windows 10 is randomly minimising full screen windows. I have no idea what's causing it but something is loading or happening as I caught my mouse cursor with the loading icon next to it for a
    split second after it minimised. This happens on another machine with windows 10 installed, updated & then removed from the net to install a game to try. It's not the game as it's windows 10 compatible & worked perfectly on windows 7 also.

    The 2nd problem is exasperated by the first. This is just for full screen mode on games really. When I maximise again clicking on the minimised tab. It comes back bigger than my actual screen size. So part of it is missing off the bottom off my screen.

    Never had this issue before until windows 10.

    Full screen games / programs minimimising randomly for no reason.

    Problem occuring since Insider Preview - still not fixed.

    Some programs running in full screen mode randomly minimise back to desktop at some times. Makes gaming impossible. Please, don't tell me to run "sfc/scanhealth" or DISM... - it's your "solution" for all the problems. It doesn't help.

    Hundreds of people have the same issue.

    Minimising & full screen mode problems

    I only have a question: is the problem with Maximize or Full Screen? They are different where Maximize/Restore is the middle icon at top right of a window and Full Screen is the F11 key used to toggle between Full Screen and not Full Screen. Full Screen gives more "real estate" for programs, hides some of the tool/menu bars.

    It's both. Ever since installing windows 10, it randomly minimises full screen windows like games or movies.

    Now, I've only experienced this with games. But when you maximise a game to full screen after it's been minimised, it restores bigger than your actual screen size, so you lose part of the screen on the bottom.

    1 problem is increasing the other problem by random un wanted minimisation of any full screen windows, be it movies or games.
    This never happened on Windows 7 & it even happens on a bare windows 10 with no other apps installed other than a game or so to test. No internet access either.

    Now, I've googled & many have the random minimising problem & also found some experiencing the maximisation size problem.
