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.

    One thing that I've found works is to adjust the scale on my second monitor to 125% (though I do not want to use these settings) Maybe this will help someone smarter than myself to find a better solution.

    This started happening to me with full screen Teams after getting the Win 10 version 2004 update. 

    I'm not 100% sure which action actually resolved this for me but...

    In my display settings I noticed my 2 external monitors were not set to the recommended resolution, so I changed them to the recommended resolution. I'm not 100% sure if the update changed my resolution, or changed the recommendation but the issue definitely began after the update.

    I don't think that alone fixed it so then I went and moved the monitors around in the display settings UI, meaning I dragged monitor 2 from the left side of monitor 3 to the right side, applied the change, moved them to random positions and applied the change a couple times, then moved them back where I wanted them, applied the change again.

    That seemed to fix the issue.

    Hope that helps.

    I too have this exact same problem. It happened prior to the the 2004 update. I can't remember an exact version number I was using but since then I have tried graphics driver updates also.

    I'm having the same issue here.  And because my screen are on top of each other, no side by side, if I have a maximized screen on the bottom one, the pixels that bleeds unto my top screen hides the little bar highlighting the running apps in my taskbar.

    Changing the resolution didn't help.

    I got it to happen with Microsoft teams too. You can see the thin white line on the left hand side of my vertical monitor.
