    The issue with app & desktop popups is that it shouldn't happen when an app/game is in windowed fullscreen mode because it interferes with edge detection, which is a commonly used technique in games - for example: Starcraft uses the screen edge to scroll the camera - and is also a common incidental occurrence, unrelated to intention.

    UWP applications as they currently behave could never have a game like Starcraft. That's a huge problem for the platform. And beyond games that use edge detection, having the task bar or title bar popup in games is generally unacceptable. I've seen Minecraft and Astroneer both suffering popups that are not requested. You're making an assumption that just because the mouse is at the top or bottom of the screen, that we want the bars to popup. That is not the case, it often just happens that that's where the mouse ends up as we move it around. Alt-Tab is already available for switching to desktop if I need it. And games are always closable in software.

    Another issue comes from this bad behavior. When the title bar and task bar popup they initiate a HDR <-> SDR switch causing flickering or even the entire video and audio feed dropping out as the color mode switches.

    Fullscreen arrow missing in title bar of Modern apps


    So I just noticed that the little diagonal double-arrow at the right of the title bar that you use to run modern/universal apps fullscreen is suddenly missing. The arrow was there when I installed Windows 10 and was still there (afaik) up until a few days ago. Now I just have minimize/restore/close. Does anyone else have this problem?

  3. Remote Desktop UWP App: How can I stop the title bar from popping up?

    I'm trying to use the Remote Desktop UWP app right now to connect to remote servers. But I keep running into the following problem:

    I'll try to close a window within the remote session, but as I click in the top right corner of the remote session, the RDP app's title bar pops up and I end up closing the entire remote session. This is incredibly annoying and makes the RDP UWP app basically
    unusable.

    Is there a way to stop the titlebar from unexpectedly popping up when I'm using the RDP app in fullscreen?

    Please allow UWP apps to disable task bar and title bar popups when in windows fullscreen.

    [Feature Request] show stats in title bar

    This feature was recently added to v0.5.9 which is great.
    However, in order for it to work I have to be able to minimise GPU-Z to the task bar which I cannot do
    (unless there is a trick to that?)

    Currently minimising GPU-Z puts the app in the system tray where the title (caption) bar is not visible thus the sensor monitoring is not possible.

    The original idea was to be able to monitor a specific sensor conveniently 'at-a-glance' with the GPU-Z UI minimised to the task bar so it wasn't taking up space on the screen. Sometimes I need to constantly monitor one sensor discretely (like mem usage or temp) and don't want the whole UI permanently on screen blocking the view of my other apps.

    I don't know if there was ever a normal 'minimise' option before the minimise to sys tray existed, but it would be nice if there was. A standard 'minimize to task bar' option would enable the caption bar to be used for more discrete monitoring as described above.
