Windows 10, multi Monitor, maximized window blank/empty space on top of screen.

[SJapa]

We have different Users with a strange behaviour - if they maximize a window tested with IE11, Acrobat, Windows Explorer, google chrome they get an empty or black / white space on top of that window.

Right clicking on the empty or black / white space on top of that window you get the context menu of the desktop. 

It's just when the window is maximized, you can stretch it to "full screen" by hand and its fine too. maximize > problem appears.

Users have dual screens

if the user signs out, and signs back in it works.

if i disconnect the user from the session and they log back in it works.

if i connect to the session with one screen it works.

CTRL+SHIFT+WIN+B and signs back in it works.

Problem occurs with notebook and multi-vendor desktops with ou without offboard video card.

Occurs with HD graphics:

Intel® HD Graphics 630

Intel® HD Graphics 530

Intel® UHD Graphics 620

Thank you. Please, confirm the following: is it only with multi-monitor configs? Does it have to be Extended or clone? Also, provide your graphics report: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005848/graphics-drivers.html Amy C Intel Customer Support Technician Under Contract to Intel Corporation

[SJapa]

Yes AmyC_Intel, only with multi-monitor configs.

In Extended mode.

Logs attached.

Updated BIOS and Driver (Version: DCH 25.20.100.6577).

Failure persists.

This issue is happening with 25% of our machines

Toshiba Tecra A40 Laptops in docking stations (Laptop closed), Intel HD Graphics 520

Two monitors plugged into the docking station (VGA and HDMI)

Windows and all other drivers up to date.

same issues from this thread, cannot use original Intel drivers, have to use Toshiba downloads

CTRL+SHIFT+WIN+B works

Have tried:

• Rebuild win10 (clean and restore)
• Different drivers
• Different monitors
• Different cables
• Different docking station

When the problem occurs it is ALWAYS on a full screen application, if you 'restore down' (SHIFT+WIN+DownArrow) the application window is fine and can be moved in to the top of the screen that was missing without any issues! if you then maximise the window the problem returns.

Also if you move the 'bad' application to the other screen (SHIFT+WIN+Left/RightArrow) the application is OK, move the window back the the 'bad' screen the problem is still there.

The problem does NOT always happen on the same screen.

Applications that seem to be the worst:

• Adobe Acrobat Standard 2017
• Windows Picture Viewer (Microsoft Photos 2019.18114.17710.0)
• Microsoft Outlook 2016

Maybe something to do with Office protected view... but I'm not convinced

have you or anyone else provided an answer?

NO, then the issue that LOTS of people are experiencing with Microsoft Windows 10 and Intel graphic cards with a multi screen setup still exists.

So in short YES we still need assistance, a new driver, a test to perform, a tool to run, a reg edit to try, a file to edit, something to delete or even just a wild suggestion...

has anyone your end even been able to replicate the problem?
