Information:

  • Resolution: 1680 x 1050
  • Graphics model & driver: Nvidia Quadro K420
  • Monitor model: DELL 3007WFPHC
  • Connection type: DVI

This is the information for my current setup, but I am having the same issue on my Lenovo Thinkpad Carbon Gen7 that has no monitor, and is running 1920x1080 resolution.

I am running Windows 10 and use the window snapping feature quite often by holding down the windows key and using the arrow keys. However, an issue I consistently run into is when I snap a window to the left or right side of the screen, it almost always doesn't fill the window.

There was a similar question asked on Microsoft forums (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/multi-tasking-snap-not-resizing-windows-to-fill/50a7acfe-3c26-4586-81aa-1355c1015766) but the only response by a technician was to make sure the When I snap a window, automatically size it to fill available space setting is enabled, which I do have enabled.

Here are additional images from own PC of the behavior. You can see the top of the browser literally being cutoff from the monitor display in the first picture.

The Windows metrics for displaying graphic windows can be found under the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics.

The problem here was solved by setting PaddedBorderWidth and BorderWidth to zero (0).

The units for these values are in twips and may contain as value any negative number up to 0. A value of 0 will produce no padding, while for example a value of -300 will produce a very fat border. PaddedBorderWidth should be larger or equal to BorderWidth.

The limits are:

  • BorderWidth - valid values are 0 to -750
  • PaddedBorderWidth - valid values are 0 to -1600
