Windows 10: Surface Pro 6 full screen has black empty border on top

Hi,

I have a surface pro 6. I am watching youtube tv on chrome browser and when I go full screen, I see black border on top and bottom. See image attached. The full screen doesn't extend to bezel of the monitor.

This screen behavior is unlike win 10 behavior on my desktop. I have used the same browser and when i go fullscreen the screen size extends all the way to the bezel of the monitor.

Please help resolve this. I hope this is not by design as I am not using the full real estate of the monitor on surface pro 6.

Surface Pro 4 Black Borders on the side/Smaller Screen Issues

Hello everyone

I have a surface pro 4 and I have the black side border issue.

I have tried what I could including settings, deleting and reinstalling hardware and updating it and windows update. Other tips I found on sites suggest tweaking the registry. However, it seems to be video card/desktop specific so I stayed away.

It happened on a stormy night with the surface plugged into the wall socket. I was using DosBox on windowed mode at the time.

Suddenly, the screen turned black and when it returned, the borders appeared.

Now if I disable the video driver, the screen covers the entire monitor but I cannot use the pen.

If I enable the drivers, it goes back to covering a portion of the screen.

If I maximise DosBox it covers the whole screen as well.

The partial coverage is annoying enough, but it feels as if the resolution has gone down on some apps and is frustrating to use.

Thanks in advance!
