Photoshop is too big in maximized window and toolbar shows hidden tools on second screen!

I have tried everything in Windows 11/Photoshop with scaling and display settings, but my photoshop is too large and cuts off on the edges causing the hidden tools and tutorial pop-ups to be shown on my monitor on the right. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you!

Correct answer Morfuud

Apart from that, I had a look on the attached screenshots. From the pictures it looks maximised and since the screenshot shows the full PS windows, it's not "too big". It's as big as the screen allows. The fact that overlay panels pop out on the other monitor is a different story, because they're supposed to pop out on the inside of PS's window. The subject is a bit misleading. My approach is supposed to help if the window's title bar is outside the area where you can access it by mouse.

 


The bug must be in the 24.2 update.
 My laptop, second screen, windows 11 are exactly the same. 
Reinstalled 24.1.1 and then it works fine. see screenshot.

I also have this problem after the new 24.2.0 update. Cannot find a solution.

So you want to say the procedure described in my link doesn't work? OK, the example is for Windows 10 while the topic starter uses Windows 11, but I cannot imagine MS would remove this menu.

Hi,

 

I appreciate your reply, however I simply rolled back to the previous version and the issue is gone.

I also have performance issues in the new update, so there's more than 1 significant problem with the update.

This is in fact the first time I have rolled back Photoshop, such a shame.

These menu options are not available in Windows 11.
