This was possible in XP and Windows 7 (see Is it possible to remove/hide Windows title bars?) - but I haven't been able to find the settings in Windows 10. Is this still possible? Thanks.

Given that the answer provided in the linked question still had issues (didn't work in Vista - follow up suggestion reduced taskbar icons), I don't believe there's much hope for a suitable function within Win 10.
However, the comment provided by Mokubai suggesting to use Autohotkey may still be applicable here.
The following code in AHK will remove the Title Bar for the active window.
WinSet, Style, -0xC00000, Amostly by pressing F11 will work for most of the stuff i guess ( for example it works with windows explorer, chrome, etc) and if not then try Alt + Enter, anyway there will be some stubborn software who no matter what you do won't allow us to hide the title bar. Enjoy
2Note that this also corresponds to Tablet mode vs. Desktop mode (Windows 10). I've discovered that in Tablet mode, it auto-hides the title bar unless you put your mouse at the top.
As for me personally, I find this extremely obnoxious, even if I'm using the touch screen, so I put it in Desktop mode.
To switch, click the icon at the bottom right of Windows 10 (where you set e.g. brightness, airplane mode, network settings, etc.). By default, you may have Tablet mode as one of your primary options; if not, click on Expand. ()
To switch the default mode when you log in, go to the Windows 10 Settings app, click System => Tablet mode. It's straightforward from there.
Hey sorry to dig up kind of an old topic, but did anyone find a solution to this? I have my laptop plugged into my TV acting as a second monitor, and I have a Windows app which I'd like to take up the entire screen on the TV. Maximizing and F11 etc etc do not work.
The easy solution is tablet mode, but that doesn't allow for more than 1 display. I tried the AHK command listed above, and it worked on most windows but not this one. Not the end of the world if there's no solution since I can hide taskbar and the title bar is just black for this window, but I'd still like the entire screen if possible.
there is some tips:
Step 1 : Login to your Windows 10 PC(Which is Primitive Step)
Step 2 : Open File Explorer or Press Windows + E or Open This PC

Step 3 : Click on File tab,Which is on top of the tab.
Step 4 : Select Change Folder and Search Options / Options. Step 5 : Select View tab.
Step 6 : Click on File and Folders.
Step 7 : Find the Option, Display the Full Path in title Bar.
