How to Use Full Screen Reading In Microsoft Edge

Introduced in the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, you can now view Microsoft Edge web pages in full screen mode. While in full screen, all toolbars, taskbars and controls are hidden, leaving only the web page visible on the display.

In this tutorial, we will look at three different methods you can use to enable or disable full screen in Microsoft Edge.
 
Method 1: Use the F11 Toggle
While in Microsoft Edge, simply press the F11 key on your keyboard to toggle full screen mode on and off


Method 2: Use the Microsoft Edge Options
With your Microsoft Edge browser open, perform the following steps:

a) Open the Tab Settings Menu
On the top right of the browser window, click the Settings and More button (the three horizontal dots) to open a dropdown menu with a list of browser options.


b) Select Full Screen
In the dropdown menu, go to the Zoom option and click the Full Screen icon (a two-headed diagonal arrow). Your browser should now be in full screen mode.

While in full screen, you can move your mouse to the top of the screen to display the hidden browser toolbar. Click the Settings and More button and click the Exit Full Screen (the two diagonal arrows facing each other) button to restore the browser window.


Method 3: Use the Keyboard Combination
While in your Microsoft Edge browser, simultaneously press the Windows, Shift and Enter keys to enable full screen mode.

Repeat the same keyboard combination to leave the full screen.


All of these methods are compatible with each other and can be used in combination to toggle full screen modes on and off. For example, method 1 can be used to enter full screen while method 3 can be used to leave full screen and restore the browser window.
