This tutorial will show you how to enter and exit full screen mode for apps for your account in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
When an app enters full screen mode, it will fill the whole screen in a borderless windowed mode covering the taskbar, desktop, and any other open windows on that display.
In addition, the title bar, tabs, toolbar, and command bar type items are hidden so the app will show more content. Some apps may support moving the pointer to the top of the screen while in full screen mode to temporarily reveal these items. Otherwise, you'll need to exit full screen mode for the app to see these items again.
If an app does not support full screen mode, you may be able to maximize its window instead if supported.
