I don't see anything out of the ordinary there. Could you attach a debug log?

On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
Try to maximize an Office window to a split and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file

Office 2016 products do not maximise within the window split. I am still running the trial but Office apps are the primary reason for needing the software.

Methods I have tried
Maximise Buton in the title bar
double clicking on the title bar
Using the Run Function on Window options

Office version is 1801 (Build 9001.2144 Click to Run) ]]> RE: Monitor Splits Not Being Observed When App Is Expanded https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-splits-not-being-observed-when-app-is-expanded/?ID=c07104dd-2ddb-40bd-9635-2c272f296b26#4 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 18:41:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-splits-not-being-observed-when-app-is-expanded/?ID=c07104dd-2ddb-40bd-9635-2c272f296b26#4 DisplayFusion Ok, thanks! If you click the Maximize button on the window instead of double-clicking the titlebar, does that make any difference? ]]> RE: Monitor Splits Not Being Observed When App Is Expanded https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-splits-not-being-observed-when-app-is-expanded/?ID=c07104dd-2ddb-40bd-9635-2c272f296b26#3 Thu, 22 Feb 2018 01:19:46 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-splits-not-being-observed-when-app-is-expanded/?ID=c07104dd-2ddb-40bd-9635-2c272f296b26#3 DisplayFusion Keith,

I only have one physical monitor (ultra wide screen) and I am splitting it into two virtual monitors. I have the same scaling level for each virtual split monitor. Attached is my trouble shooting file. It seems that all of the Microsoft Office 2016 products do not behave properly.

Could you also attach a copy of your troubleshooting info?

Thanks! ]]> Monitor Splits Not Being Observed When App Is Expanded https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-splits-not-being-observed-when-app-is-expanded/?ID=c07104dd-2ddb-40bd-9635-2c272f296b26 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 14:07:34 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-splits-not-being-observed-when-app-is-expanded/?ID=c07104dd-2ddb-40bd-9635-2c272f296b26 DisplayFusion There must be a simple issue with this but not all applications seem to be observing the monitor split I have saved. For example Chrome will expand to fill the split when the title bar is double-clicked, but Microsoft Outlook will not (it seems to only expand 60-70% of the split) and I have to manually size the app to fit the split. What is the reason for this? ]]>
