  1. White bar at the top of maximized (full screen) programs


    I'm having an issue when certain programs are maximized (Firefox and Chrome) they cause a bar to appear at the top of them on a second monitor above the one the program is on. This bar appears over any window that's on the second monitor as long as the maximized program is in focus.

    Screenshots: Not maximized, Maximized

    On Firefox a white bar appears, on Chrome a thinner black bar.

    Computer info:

    • GPU: Nvidia GTX1080
    • GPU Driver: 451.67
    • OS: Windows 10 Pro 19041.329 (Fully updated, fresh install today)

    Things tried:

    • Doing a clean GPU driver installed (using DDU)
    • Changing the display scaling options
    • Changing resolutions of both displays
    • Changing display cables (different ports, using hdmi instead of display)
    • Changing registry values per this reddit comment.
    • Changing order/position of screens in display settings, different monitors being above others.

    The only thing that did anything at all was changing the compatibility settings of Firefox to Windows 8. This made the white bar slightly thinner, but still definitely covering other windows like in the screenshot.

    Another strange thing is if I enable the title bar in the Firefox customization screen, it'll remove the white bar (although now there is a giant title bar, so this is definitely not a fix).

    As mentioned already, this same issue is talked about here.

    Any help or possible troubleshooting steps would be amazing.

    Large white bar at top or bottom of maximized applications/windows

    Hi,

    Several users in my organization (Windows 10, updated to latest 1809 version, on recent Dell computers) have the following issue: when maximizing a window (Chrome, Slack, Adobe Acrobat, etc.), they see a large white band at the top, sometimes at the bottom,
    of the maximized window. When at the top, for example, the entire upper part of the window in not only hidden by the bar, but also unclickable. In fact, when one clicks on it, it actually acts as if one clicks on the desktop behind of the window even though
    this application is maximized.

    Can anyone help get rid of this very annoying bug?

    Thank you in advance.
