Xbox cloud gaming - Why on dekstop in full screen mode the scrollbar is visible?

Bonifacy666 · Jan 15, 2022

Hello,

I want to play Fallout 76 but I can see some "changes" around it. Changes which really wasn't needed.

As usual I have started the game, enter "Full screen" mode and thought that screen will be 100% full with game.

But no. Not this time. A week ago it was 100% full but not today.

Scrollbar is still here. I have checked Chrome, Edge...the same. Scrollbar is visible.

But why? I have asked myself "why? It was so good without it... why they destroyed my good experience?".

Is this a new useless feature? Or maybe it is needed because of some secret reason?

:)

Since it happens on multiple browsers, it may be a bug or a new update. Hopefully an announcement is released soon to tell us which is it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you for this workaround! It doesn't resolve it, but definitely ameliorates the issue, you're great!

Thanks Jesse

I found a workaround on Edge:

Launch Microsoft Edge browser.
Open a new tab.
Type the following and hit Enter – edge://flags.
In the search box of flags page enter – #edge-overlay-scrollbars-win-style
Check if Windows-style overlay scrollbars is visible.
Select Enabled from the drop-down button.
To disable the same, select Disabled option.
Restart your browser.

After those steps are completed there is no grey scrollbar visible - only a thin black line instead.

unfortunately, the cloud app runs in windowed borderless mode and does not operate in exclusive full screen mode, there is no way to stop this behaviour that I am aware off.

A lot of new games use windows borderless to run these days and some don't even have exclusive full screen.
