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.
I don't use any editing tools on this machine. It's generally used only for gaming and web browsing/streaming movies and so on. F11 will increase the browser to within acceptable limits within the bounds of the monitor though it removes quick access to my header and additional browser tabs which I find unacceptable as a work around.
I appreciate the outreach and attempt to help a fellow user. I hope that Microsoft takes your concern seriously and didn't give you that response just to pacify you. I'll continue working on trouble shooting the issue on my end in hopes that I can find a resolution that will help us all permanently. I'm considering the option of performing registry edits to see if there can be correction through that system. I'll update if anything of note changes.
Just to chime in, we've had a test group with protected view disabled for a good few months now and they haven't had the issue since.
Everyone saying to reset the graphics driver with that hotkey is all well and good, but if like us you are running in a Citrix environment that doesn't work.
Even if you don't use the office packages, but have them installed and protected view enabled it seems to be enough to cause the issue to occur.
Microsoft need to fix asap.
Unfortunately that has not worked for me at all. Lately what I've found is that I have to go to options, pretend to change something, and then hit ok and it fixes itself. The wwindows-ctrl-shift-b has stopped working for me. And now this is happening in One Note but my options fix doesn't work.
