@harrymc setting the PaddedBorderWidth and BorderWidth to 0 solved the issue for me. If you'd like to post an answer I'd be happy to award you the bounty.

| Apr 18, 2021 at 22:25 | comment | added | TardisGuy | Id troubleshoot by using raw drivers. IE: removing GPU Tool/settings app. (IE: Nvideo settings or Radeon Settings etc.) | |

Use regedit to navigate to registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics. Check if your values are very different from in this post. If you wish to experiment, export first the WindowMetrics key to a file as backup. Or you could take a screenshot and add it to your post for us to take a look. Sometimes setting PaddedBorderWidth to 0 helps.

| Apr 16, 2021 at 19:24 | comment | added | gregg | @AlexF if it's happening on your laptop & another PC sadly the common denominator is you. 1)Do you have any custom Windows GUI modification tools installed (ie. stardock, etc.)? 2)Are you using the Windows beta build/update channels? 3)Have you checked the Nvidia Control Panel? 4)Have you updated those drivers? | |
| Apr 16, 2021 at 16:36 | comment | added | Alex F | @harrymc I tested your solution and it's giving me explorer.exe. It's strange too because I have the same issue on my laptop which is a completely different display and PC model, but both are running the latest Windows 10 build | |
| Apr 16, 2021 at 15:21 | comment | added | harrymc | Could you do the test in my above comment, for more information? | |
| Apr 16, 2021 at 13:56 | comment | added | gregg | @AlexF Indeed I'm seeing that. Can you go to Settings, System, Multitasking then: 1)uncheck 'When I snap a window, automatically size it to fill available space'. 2)uncheck 'When I resize a snapped window...' 3)Turn off Snap windows. 4)Reboot. 5)Re-enable those settings. 6)Cross your fingers it did some magic. If that doesn't work I'd look at updating your video drivers & trying to login to the PC as another user to note if it happens, various preferences are user-specific | |

| Apr 16, 2021 at 13:52 | comment | added | Alex F | @gregg I added additional images of my PC. You can see the browser is being cutoff at the top of the monitor. It appears to be trying to resize to resolution larger than the monitor and then after snapping the window again resizes to the correct resolution. | |
| Apr 16, 2021 at 13:51 | comment | added | gregg | Can you update question with your: 1)Resolution. 2)Graphics model & driver . 3)Monitor model & connection type (VGA, DVI, HDMI, DP) | |

| Apr 16, 2021 at 13:41 | comment | added | gregg | Snapping for me DOES fill the whole area, however I DO still get the resize-arrow-cursor at the top & is cut off just like yours so this is normal. Is the screenshot from your PC or a random one on the internet? I see the black bar at top, however since your resize-arrow-cursor is getting cut off I am wondering if its been edited into the photo? Maybe your monitor settings need to be adjusted, but even if YOU saw black bar at top a screenshot wouldn't capture that. Please provide another screenshot AFTER you adjust one of the snapped windows to be maximum height | |

Use Process Explorer and drag the bullseye icon over the empty space. This will find the process whose window is taking up this space. If that process is explorer.exe, this means the desktop, so that space is truly empty and snap isn't working correctly.

| Apr 13, 2021 at 0:10 | comment | added | phuclv | probably there are some app that lays a transparent bar on top of the desktop, or there are some issues with the graphics driver? | |
