The System Settings Window is the only window, that can't be maximised. Is this a known bug, or did I possibly break something?

  • I think you must have broken something, my System Settings window maximizes as it should.

  • no. this doesn't help I have elementary in virtualbox on another machine and it is the same problem over there. The only idea which might have broken this, might be installing elementary-tweaks.

  • Did you try maximizing it with the default keyboard shortcut? It's super + arrow up

The System Settings window can be maximized, unmaximized, and resized.

There are two arrows on the top right (or at least there should be). Click these to maximize and unmaximize the window. If these do not work try a different method.

Use the keyboard shortcut of (Windows Key + Up Arrow).

Its elementary-tweaks. I faced a similar problem while trying to maximise the settings app but when I uninstalled tweaks, it worked fine!
