Thank you so much for fixing this. ]]> RE: Issue maximizing window with monitor splits in Windows 11 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issue-maximizing-window-with-monitor-splits-in-windows-11/?ID=a532fe08-9070-4a91-b870-41be40f3e367#9 Tue, 30 Sep 2025 17:17:33 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issue-maximizing-window-with-monitor-splits-in-windows-11/?ID=a532fe08-9070-4a91-b870-41be40f3e367#9 DisplayFusion We've released a new beta that might fix this up, can you guys try it out and let us know if the issue persists?

Seems to be very inconsistent, sometimes dragging windows will bring up the overlay to show which virtual monitor I'm dropping on, sometimes it won't, and just now my entire split configuration just... Went away. Very odd, and hard to find exact reproduction steps. ]]> RE: Issue maximizing window with monitor splits in Windows 11 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issue-maximizing-window-with-monitor-splits-in-windows-11/?ID=a532fe08-9070-4a91-b870-41be40f3e367#7 Tue, 09 Sep 2025 17:25:04 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issue-maximizing-window-with-monitor-splits-in-windows-11/?ID=a532fe08-9070-4a91-b870-41be40f3e367#7 DisplayFusion

Some programs, like Chrome and OneNote maximize properly to the split, but other programs, like Outlook, File Explorer, and Teams, all maximize to the whole monitor.

I'm running DFP 11.2 Beta 5 with Windows 11 (24H2) [26100.4946].

Any ideas? ]]> RE: Issue maximizing window with monitor splits in Windows 11 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issue-maximizing-window-with-monitor-splits-in-windows-11/?ID=a532fe08-9070-4a91-b870-41be40f3e367#4 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 00:13:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issue-maximizing-window-with-monitor-splits-in-windows-11/?ID=a532fe08-9070-4a91-b870-41be40f3e367#4 DisplayFusion This issue seems to have gone away for me. I can't recall if it was happening when I was running Windows 11 ARM edition. I am running on x86 hardware and native windows apps like explorer, notepad and Edge are maximizing to the appropriate virtual display. ]]> RE: Issue maximizing window with monitor splits in Windows 11 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issue-maximizing-window-with-monitor-splits-in-windows-11/?ID=a532fe08-9070-4a91-b870-41be40f3e367#3 Sat, 22 Mar 2025 17:30:34 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issue-maximizing-window-with-monitor-splits-in-windows-11/?ID=a532fe08-9070-4a91-b870-41be40f3e367#3 DisplayFusion Was there ever a solution for this? I got a 49" monitor only because I could use Display Fusion to manage the screens, but I just got moved to a Win11 laptopn, and DF isn't doing anything. I mean, I can see 3 distinct taskbars that line up with my splits, but every application goes full screen instead of staying within the established splits. ]]> RE: Issue maximizing window with monitor splits in Windows 11 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issue-maximizing-window-with-monitor-splits-in-windows-11/?ID=a532fe08-9070-4a91-b870-41be40f3e367#2 Wed, 05 Apr 2023 14:49:29 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/issue-maximizing-window-with-monitor-splits-in-windows-11/?ID=a532fe08-9070-4a91-b870-41be40f3e367#2 DisplayFusion Could you send me a copy of your troubleshooting info?

I have a large 49" widescreen display that I have DF "splitting" into three virtual displays. In Windows 11, some windows, when maximized, will snap to the edges of the virtual display. Other windows (like Explorer, Notepad, Microsoft Edge), ignore the virtial display and maximize to the entire 49" physical display. Is there a way to fix this? ]]>
