Question

Fullscreen suddenly not working correctly

Aug 10, 2016 3:43PM PDT

So, the problem is that when I fullscreen a video/ series on two of my monitors, the ones that are not the primary screen, a strip of the wallpaper shows up (about half a centimeter wide) and runs along the left and upper corner which gets incredibly annoying when watching dark movies and such and the conrast gets bigger.

This problem only exists on google chrome (which is the webb browser I've been using for years and I do not want to switch due to having a lot of customization to it) microsoft edge works perfectly aswell as all the film players like VLC, windows media player and whatever the now W10 one is called.

This problem occured this day after I got back from eating food the computer was on the widows inlog screen and had apparently restarted which happens now and then since I have windows update on auto update. My first reaction was to check the widows updates and it did seem to say one had failed so I made it search through and It found a fairly big update and installed it successfully. Yet no change what so ever and even so I don't see what would cause these curcomstances exept some kind of update. I updated my nvidia drivers aswell, my chrome seems updated (Version 52.0.2743.116 m 64-bit) and as i get it flash updates with the browser and youtube videos run on html5 anyway, tell me if this might be it. The main screen this affects is the TV 1920x1080 connected as i watch most things there, nothing wrong with it's aspect ratio (it's set as full because 16:9 renders the edges differently on tv broadcasts as I understand it) but it's also on my asus computer monitor that's 1200x 1920 so more or less chrome fullscreen isn't working properly on non primary screens. It might possibly be that windows update and chrome haven't had time to update accordingly or something like it. But if anyone know the fix please go ahead.

Clarification Request
So I guess inlog is login.

So yes, 52.0.2743 is only a few weeks old and for this one I'd do nothing and wait for the next version before I would yelp (file a bug report.)
