I'm using the Remote Desktop Connection Manager 2.7 on a Surface Pro 4 with Windows 10. Until recently, it was working fine: It would go to full screen and show this blue full screen connection bar at the top when pointing there with the mouse. I could close the session from there or leave full screen mode.
A few days ago (no idea what happened), it stopped going to full screen properly. Now it only resizes to the full size of my screen minus the task bar (so I still see that and the RDCman's window is also not behind my local task bar. The blue bar at the top appears for a moment but I cannot get it back when moving the mouse there.
Reinstalling did not help. Any idea what might have caused this and how to fix it?
6This did the trick, thanks! Really nonsense behavior of Windows... – Niko – 2016-06-29T20:50:01.587
I don't want to +1 this, but this has been nagging at me for 3 years of using a High DPI and this totally worked. Bookmarking this! – WhiskerBiscuit – 2016-08-02T20:52:14.227
+1 for this solution, simple and easiest to full screen with high DPI device, no need to play with registry hack, however, is there any way to hide the remote desktop connection bar in Remote Desktop Connection Manager? – Bilo – 2016-08-03T01:44:54.593
3Wow. Didn't understand what you meant at first. Basically if your RDCMan is maximized, your screwed and it won't hide your status bar. If you have it not maximized, full screen works as expected. Weird. – Unome – 2016-10-27T22:15:33.433
This also fixes the issue with key combinations (like Alt+Tab/Windows key) not being forwarded to the remote you are connecting to. Super strange behavior... – mrexodia – 2018-10-08T10:30:02.227
@Bilo just go to View > Options > Full-screen > uncheck "show connection full-screen connection bar" – ofir_aghai – 2019-12-16T10:37:28.903
