    Hi AcidInk13266158

    If you double click the top bar of any window, it should go to full screen . . .

    Other Windows, if you press F11 the window should go to full screen . .

    If that does not work for you, please explain this in more detail, what application are you having difficulty with . . .

    Hi AcidInk13266158

    I am Vijay, an Independent Advisor. I am here to work with you on this problem.

    Control to go to Full Screen varies from application to application. Request you to let me know the name of the application.

    In case, you are talking about maximizing a window, you need to click maximize button next to X (top right) to maximize the window.

    Do let me know if you require any further help on this. Will be glad to help you.

    Have you tried ALT + Enter  on the keyboard ?

    Also the program could be "docked" to one of the edges of the screen so that it only takes half of the screen for instance.

    You can try to drag the titlebar of that window away from the edge towards the middle of the screen to get out of it.
