Un-clickable Window on Desktop during full screen

Hi everyone

I have a strange issue with my Windows 10 system.

System details;
Windows 10 Pro, 10.0.17763 build 17763
i7-4790@3.6Mhz
16Gb ram,
Intel HD 4600 graphics

Essentially what happens is that when I maximise an application, the top section of the app (about an inch from the top) becomes a bit of a whitewash (as in the app doesn't draw properly) and then I can't click in that space.

For me to resolve the issue, I have to Alt-Space, Restore (to take the application out of maximise state) and then I can click in the space again.

It doesn't happen with all applications at the same time. For example, Chrome could be the application playing up, yet when I use another portable app like Keepass, it works fine.

I've tried different allow GPU options, made sure the drivers are up to date (use the Intel Driver & Support assistant).

I was wondering if anyone else has come across this problem and was able to solve it.

Of the three screenshots, there's one with a black band which shows the application not drawing properly, one where the app draws fine after I hit Alt-Space, Restore.

Cheers

I found a thread on the Microsoft answers forum 'Windows 10, multi monitor, maximized window blank/empty space on top of screen.

And I found this, which I am trying now;
Right click desktop, go to Intel HD Graphics settings. Select Display and then choose the option Scale Full Screen. Make sure the option Override Application Settings has the checkbox marked.

I have multiple monitors, one digital and one analog. DVI / VGA.

Hi all,

The issue has come back after testing the 'Scale full screen'. The problem still occurs.

Any other suggestions for troubleshooting steps that anyone may have would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, did you resolve this? I have the same issue. Many thanks
