    I have this problem with Fifa 16 (which is NOT an old game).

    When i need to switch to another program (alt + tab) or if a process starts in the background, the full screen suddenly gets the top border and the task bar below.

    If I want a full screen, I want a full screen.

    User hrc.exe ------> http://funk.eu/hrc/ . Set a lower resolution for example u have 1366x768 and the second resolution set to ur prefered game resolution with a hotkey given in the application . This is the best solution for now and I am waiting for 2 months , still no change :(

    Same problem here.

    I try to play Imperishable Night (executable th08.exe), it cannot be got to fullscreen in Windows 10, rather the window borders remain visible and the whole game fails to render. No success with Compatibility Troubleshooter etc.

    PLEASE FIX THIS IS STUPID!!!

    I am running Windows because of existing apps. If I have to get everything new I might as well go for android.

    I thought this problem was related to the Steam app with older games.But then i downloaded Meda Drive classsics game Columns III from Steam and it plays in full screen mode.This game ran on old tv format of 4.3 and was released in the mid 90s.So the paper trail comes back to Windows 10...am not suprised it was a free upgrade cant even go back to Windows 8.1 as my system had 10 built in.

    So if a game almost 20 years old can play in full screen why cant games from 2000s run also....there is only one thing to say and thats Arrgghhhhhhhh!!!
