This problem happens with all windows when maximized.
When the window is maximized there is a bar at the top of the screen through which i can see my desktop. Its like that range that the window can maximize has been shortened.
Here is the link from reddit and this is the exact issue i am having.

We did install all the latest and greatest patch that are available of today and nothing seems to work.
Any help please

In that Reddit thread, there is a suggestion that worked for me.
Right click desktop, go to Intel HD Graphics settings. Select Display and then choose the option Scale Full Screen. Make sure the option Override Application Settings has the checkbox marked.
Same annoying issue here on Windows 10 x64 1803 with all updates until now!
The issue appears on several apps (chrome, IE, eagle, ...) so it does'nt depends on the app.
My setup is: 2x HDMI/DVI 24" Monitors on an Radeon HD 5450. Internal Intel GPU is not used.
The issue just happend recently sind a few weeks.
I have found an workaround which helps at least for me:
* Open Task Manager
* Goto Tab Details
* select dwm.exe and click "Kill Proccess"
dwm.exe will be closed and restarted automatically from windows and issue is gone.
Yeah i'll know, its a rather annoying workaround but the quickest for me until a real solution pops up.
Nevermind issue has returned....
Update: Reinstalling Windows 10 worked

I have ran into this very similar issue. Windows 10 64-bit, latest updates/patches with dual monitors. What I've found it that this only seems to happen on the Default Monitor, whichever you have select as the primary monitor.
This happens when the window is maximized or auto-locked to the full screen. If you click in the Header area it's actually selecting through it onto the desktop. So if you've done this and the the windows is not currently selected nothing seems to happen when you try to access any of the menu function using the hotkeys, Alt-F, Alt-E , Alt-V, etc. To get the window out of maximized mode, make sure you select something in the window, click anywhere. Then Hit Alt-Space to select the Window Shortcut menu in the upper left corner. Then click the Restore menu item. This will take the window out of maximized mode.
Still haven't found a solution to what is actually causing this issue, so if anyone knows what is actually causing this and how to stop it from happening when the window is maximized, please share.
