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.

    Bhavik,

    Thank you Thank for that. It actually fixed my issue. Not sure why this is occurring. I have a client that this is happen to as well. At least there is a work around other than having to reset my computer every time.

    Microsoft: please fix this issue!!!

    I have finally been able to make this problem go away without a reboot by forcing different settings on my monitors through the NVIDIA control panel. After a series of setting changes, resolution not being one of them, the problem seems to have gone away. I will hope that this does not revert back after a future update or reboot. At this time, it's unclear if this is a Windows or a graphic driver issue, or just a issue between the two of them together.

    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.
