    Not been able to find this answer on the web as of yet so I thought I would ask here

    Set up is Windows 10 upgraded to 11 using Chrome browser.

    Situation is that I use multiple tabs watching different content. Used to be that I could maximize a window inside chrome keeping it inside the tabs so I could easily tab between different tabs and keep the full screen within the tab.

    Last update all of sudden when I expand that window in the tab it goes completly full screen like when you use the F11 key and to go to other tabs you have to exit full screen. Makes it kind of clunky. I tried using Edge it was doing the same. Other computers don't do this.

    Any clues on what this is and how to change it?

    Do you mean being able to show all tabs on 1 screen?

    I have 5 open right now and when I click 'TILE HORIZONTAL/ VERITICAL' it looks like this

    No. Before I could have multiple tabs open and maximize a video and the tabs in the browser still showed. Now when I maximize it goes full screen instead of staying in the tabbed window

    The behavior of a video in a browser is often set in the browser settings, which may have been updated. Otherwise it could be the video source having changed parameters.

    Normally I might think that as well but I tried it in both Chrome and Edge with the same results. To check if maybe it was the site I tried in on a different computer and it worked fine. I think it has to been in a system setting somehwere.

    I thought it was a retro theme, but the realplayer in the taskbar really sells it as real!
