A temporary fix is to use the key combination Windows key + Ctrl + Shift + B

I think it resets the graphics driver. Note that your screens will go blank for a second.

Hopefully the issue is resolved in the new build being released soon.

    This does temporarily fix the issue (sometimes for an hour, sometimes for a day).  Has there been an update regarding this issue with a true fix?  I've updated every driver, every windows update, every Office 365 update available and still experiencing the issue sporadically. 

    Thank you!

    Thank you thank you thank you!  This has been happening every so often on a few my users' computers at work.  And I've been tearing my hair out trying to figure out was causing it.  I've been telling my users to restart the computer, but that shortcut totally does the trick!  Now if Microsoft would just get with nVidia to fix the issue once and for all...

    I had the same exact problem:

    My second monitor's resolution is 1440 x 900 while my main is 1920 x 1080. I suspect that the difference in the resolutions may have been what was causing it (it's just my hypothesis). Anyway, I just tried unplugging the monitor and plugging it back in and it actually worked. If that doesn't work for you, a temporary solution is to just press F11 twice to go into full screen and then back out of full screen every time you open a new maximized window on the affected screen.
