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.
Top of the window gets cut off

2021-05-17T15:17:41+00:00 Hi Nathan,
Ultimately, nothing was changed; we just started using "work-arounds" for the moments this issue was most annoying. Here are some things you can do to mitigate the effects of this issue/bug until you're able to reboot your system. First, this only happens to windows which are maximized. If you resize your window to the full size of your screen (but it's NOT maximized), you will not have this problem. If you happen to have a window maximized and this happens, you won't be able to click the "minimize/maximize/close" buttons, but no fear; there's a work-around! On the Windows Start bar, you will find all your open windows as icons you can click on. Press and hold CTRL+SHIFT, then right-click on the app affected by this bug. You will now have an option to "restore/move/minimize/maximize"; Select "restore" to stop the window from being maximized, and viola! You can control your app again! (It will cut off the screen the moment you maximize the window again, until you reboot your PC.)
Moving forward, we have not found a permanent fix to this issue. Keeping everything up-to-date is highly recommended, but may not resolve this issue. Off the top of my head, I'm not sure if we've received this issue since the Windows 10 20H2 update, but we did with the Windows 10 2004 update.
Good luck, have fun and stay safe!
Cheers!

The Issue doesn't happen on the newer version of Windows, i haven't had any issue on Windows Version 20H1, i would say try to update to that first.
Best regards

2021-05-17T14:25:22+00:00 Hello,
Has there been any development on this are you aware?
Still appears to be happening to this day. It only cuts the top section off for particular apps such as Edge/Adobe/Chrome etc. Other apps can work fine.
Thanks, Nathan
