Why does it keep doing this? (Dual and/or) Triple monitor setups

Flashie · August 27, 2017

Every now and again I'd have Steam or Spotify up on my TV (1360x768) maximised, and then I move it over to the other monitor (1920x1080) and it will turn out like this:

It stays this way until i close steam/spotify (By clicking in the spot where the close button (X) used to be in the top right corner and start it back up. Please tell me how i can fix it - On latest GPU drivers for Nvidia GTX 970

So when you drag the window to the higher res window it goes fullscreen like that?

Thats a bg with Steam/ Spotify infortunately.

I have a triple 1080P setup and some apps do that. If you unmaximize it first... then move it... should work

and use Win Key + Left or Right arrow, should also work.

Yay WINDOWS moment, yeah this will be windows not dealing with the different resolutions of your monitors very well, i get this too.

only work round ive found is to un maximise into a window before moving between screens

Thanks for the replies; I'll try that Windows key thing from now. I thought there might've been a key combo for it - Now i know Thanks all

if you have win 10... i believe its ctrl+win key + left or right arrow to quick switch between multiple desktops (if your like me and have gaming stuff on desktop 2 typically and business stuff like email whatnot on desktop 1). might be ctrls+shift+win Key i forget... but thats a handy one too.
