Focused window bleed onto second monitor

Hi all,

A month or so ago I updated my windows 10 and noticed when I was focused on a window on one monitor it would bleed over onto the other monitor. I waited for the next windows 10 update to see if that would fix the issue, I updated my windows 10 version last week, but it did not fix my issue. Does anyone know how to stop the focused window from bleeding onto the second monitor?

I have posted a picture below that demonstrates the issue I am having.

    Same issue here, I have a 2 x 2 monitor setup, horizontally they're fine but vertically I can't have anything maximised in the bottom screens as it will bleed onto the taskbars of the top screens.

    My suspicion is the Settings app for adjusting the monitor layouts. Most of the new Settings screens are pretty janky and this seems to lack the finesse needed to put the screens exactly where they need to be; spacing between monitors is inconsistent; it's just (another) terrible UI.

    However, I seem to have found a fix...

    The NVIDIA Control Panel also has the option to Set up multiple displays and simply moving them about and putting them back where they were with that and applying the change appears to have solved the issue, now to see how long it sticks for.

    After having this issue annoying me for a while, I started using Fancy Zones and if I maximize using it the problem doesn't help.

    It is not the solution I wanted, but helps.

    yep, I have the same problem. My setup: two monitors vertically extended. Main bottom monitor is 1440p, and whenever I maximize a Chrome window in the bottom screen, it cuts into my full screen VLC video playing in the top monitor. Attached is what happens
