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 fixed my issue as well. It is soooo frustrating. Seems like the driver has issues. It is updated. Not first time it has happened./...

    Any software fixes haven't trickled down to new yet. Had a new pc this month and see this screen cut off within just a few weeks. It happens with Opera and Edge, along with File Manager. Most frustrating.

    My computer is a 3yr old Dell OptiPlex 7050, running Windows 10 Pro and this just started happening a couple of weeks ago.  Never seen this issue before that!  Word and Visio seem to be triggers for me.

    Microsoft really should get a solution to this!

    This only seems to happen for me when I open Microsoft Word. When that happens, Word is fine, but most other applications that are open on my primary display get the tops cut off. I have to unplug and re-plug the external monitor to fix it, but it's only a temporary fix - next time I open Word it'll happen again.
