Must re-maximize manually AutoCAD on 2nd monitor after change of focus

Run AutoCAD 2020 on second monitor, maximized.

Change focus to another app or minimize all

Switch back to AutoCAD by clicking on minimized icon then selecting an open drawing.

AutoCAD gains focus, but no longer maximized, probably about 60% of the monitor, in the upper left corner of the monitor screen.

Bonus: you can't move the application window around on the screen (it assumes its' already mazimized?).

Clicking the middle maximize button does just that (but not double-clicking on the top header of the application).

But I have to do this. Every. ****. time.

Just curious if others are as equally blessed.

Driver version 26.21.14.3170

Hi,

>> the screen (it assumes its' already mazimized?).

Up to this statement I would have suggested to not maximize the AutoCAD application window, just stretch it as wide and high as the monitor is.

But this looks more like a defect of the graphic card driver. Maybe updating the driver could help.

Which graphic card and driver do you have ... on which operating system?

The driver version is in my posting.

My card is in my signature (though naturally, this truly tepid forum software seems to have clipped it off): Nvidia Quadro P2000
