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.
https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/8imjva/windows\_10\_multi\_monitor\_maximized\_window/
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.
Also you can restart the graphics driver with the combination (on the left keyboard side): WIN + CTRL + SHIFT + B
This works for me.
Win + Ctrl + Shift + B works as a fix. This still happens regularly for a handful of employees at our Company
Hi Everyone
I want everyone to know I've been tracking this issue pretty intensely as I've experienced it across multiple clients.
I've logged several jobs with Dell and they've spoke to MS reps this isn't going to get anywhere the solution is with us
So lets set the stage/requirements for fault to occur.
Dual monitor setup
Can be Laptop , Desktop , Tablet doesn't matter.
Appears in Windows 10 Build 1803-1903
Majority of our cases are Intel GPU, but this isn't limited here
When Fault triggers the issue appears in the following applications or a combination of the following (This is not a full list, just what I've tested no MS Office Products appears to be effected):
IE
Chrome
Firefox
Control Panel/Explorer
Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Moving forward these are the things I tried with intermittent success.
Win + L-Ctrl + L-Shift + B works as a temp fix. Not a permanent solution but saves a reboot.
Intel Scaling fix. This had random success and saved a few from the final fix.
Unplugging and re-plugging monitor, again works as a temp fix. Not a permanent solution but saves a reboot.
Sometimes F11 to Fullscreen , works as a temp fix. Not a permanent solution but saves a reboot.
Moving onto permanent solution which yall don't want to hear.I'm sorry it has to be this way but MS aren't fixing it so we have too
Rebuild with the Win 10 ISO creator. Do not use factory images, in the case of Dell products we found there is something in there causing the issue. It's Random and worse for some people more than others.
Do use your manufacturer for drivers.
Good luck everyone , I wish you all the best in hunting the black bar.
