thanks so much for the answer "check-off the Windows > Application Frame"

Was camping near White Sands. Had tons of great fotos that I, luckily, worked on in Bridge/Raw. Could not fix the problem 'cause no internet. Had to wait to get home to work on them on my big screen.

This is a typical major problem with a tiny solution.

This works on windows 10 maybe on Mac too: Change resolution in the OS and change it back. Resizes the PSCC window to fit the desktop resolution.

This has not been answered for me. Here is what worked for me in Photoshop CC

Edit---menus--application menu---click on fit on screen and --fit artboard on screen

If you have a Mac, just toggle the green button in the upper-left hand corner.

how do you fix the issue for it being to big on a pc screen? it doesnt even show me some of the menus that you cant resize its so big

What is your screen resolution? Two common fixes are to increase the screen resolution in the Window's Control Panel and to decrease the UI Scaling in Edit > Preferences > Interface in Photoshop.

Note that Photoshop requires a minimum resolution of 1024 x 768 (1280 x 800 recommended).
