When using a UWP app (ie: OneNote, Todoist), I have an issue where the screen will render fine to the loaded size, but if I resize the window it doesn't want to extend beyond the original size.

For example, if I open a program and the window opens to 1/4 the screen size and I hit maximize, the window controls will maximize to the full window (I can click where the close button should be and it'll work, just the close button won't be visible), but the visible UI will only fill the original 1/4 area. I can move this around and it'll move to different parts of the screen, but the visible window will still be the original size.

Here is a screenshot:

This is a problem encountered on some high-resolution monitors after updating to Windows 10 v1803.

The poster's problem seem to be solved after updating the display driver. It is possible that Windows 10 v1803 has more strict demands upon the driver, so a newer version might work better.

Some workarounds that may work when a newer display driver is not available:

  • Resize the window, then close and reopen the application, and it might then be of the right size.

  • Run Performance Options (SystemPropertiesPerformance.exe) and uncheck Show window contents while dragging, then reboot:
