Hi,
I used to be able to select the Eyedropper tool, click, hold and sample colors from outside the program. In CC 2018, this isn't the case anymore. I installed CC 2017 and it works without a problem.
Part two of the problem:
If I have a tiny canvas, say 100 by 50 and I use the eyedropper tool, I'm sampling colors from my wallpaper from the main display (I have two) like somehow Photoshop is transparent. I don't think this is normal behavior.
We're working on this issue. We'll update the thread when the update goes out: https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/photoshop-eyedropper-tool-cant-sample-colors-from-outside-the-program-nvidia-drivers-conflict
It occurs when scaling is other than 100%.

Same problem here, with PS 2020. I guess they still don´t know how to solve it.
I remember it used to work in PS 2017.
Chosing 100% doesn´t change anything BTW
