Sometimes you may want more space to work with a computer program. Displaying windows in full screen mode can help you with this. In this article, you will learn how to display some windows in full screen mode.

Before continuing this article, it is necessary to know that only some programs can be displayed in full screen mode. Fortunately, some useful programs such as modern web browsers, File Explorer, media players, and Microsoft Paint support full screen mode.

In full screen mode, the window title bar, Close, Maximize and Minimize buttons are hidden.

How to make a window full screen?

To make a window full screen, you must first make sure that the program supports this mode or not? As we said earlier, most modern web browsers, media players, File Explorer and Microsoft Paint in Windows support full screen mode.

Usually, if the software supports full screen mode, the Full screen option can be found in the program menus. This option may be embedded in the View menu or the View tab of the ribbon. Even in some software such as media player programs, this option may be available in the right-click menu of the software.

To enter the full screen mode, just click on the Full screen option. You can also usually use the F11 keyboard shortcut for this purpose. Don’t forget that on compact keyboards (such as those found in some laptops) to access the function of the F11 key, it is necessary to first hold down the Fn key and then press the F11 key.

To exit the full screen mode, you can usually press the F11 key again or use the Esc key.
