How to make Microsoft Edge (and other apps) full screen

Microsoft Edge

Windows 10 Creators Update has brought many improvements to Microsoft's system. Some are in high demand and others are surprising. In any case, there are many news that Microsoft programs receive thanks to this new update. Microsoft Edge, Microsoft's new browser, is no exception.

Among the novelties of Microsoft Edge we have the possibility of reading ebooks or an improved rendering of fonts, but there are still things that you do not have such as the possibility of putting full screen. Although the latter can be achieved thanks to an interesting trick.

The full screen mode is interesting for certain users who use tablets or similar devices as well as for those who use the ebook reader.

It is true that Microsoft Edge cannot go full screen but thanks to Creators Update, all universal applications can be made full screen and Microsoft Edge is a universal application. So with the combination of keys to put an application to full screen it will be enough to put the Microsoft browser in this mode and satisfy the needs of the user.

Universal apps have full screen mode thanks to Creators Update

The key combination is Win + Shift. + ENTER ; an easy to remember combination that will allow us to remove the window frames and the bottom panel of Windows 10, leaving the application full screen as many applications work in other operating systems.

The operation is perfect and it only takes Creators Update to work, so it seems that the full screen utility will never reach Microsoft Edge unless it is a shortcut to this key combination.

This trick works for Microsoft Edge but also for other applications and apps that we use from the Microsoft Store and that we know are universal applications.

      Unfortunately, there are functions that should be the same in all browsers, but sometimes each manufacturer goes their own way. a shame.
