Alt+Enter only maximizes the popped window on the second screen. If I remember correctly, Alt+Click pops the window. You’ll see a plus sign over the G1000.

If any community or Marketplace addons installed, disable them and test again

Moved to User Support Hub since cannot replicate at that point.

I cannot replicate this behaviour. I loaded the DA40-NG and with the cursor over the PFD pressing either L-ALT/ENTER or R-ALT/ENTER toggles between windowed and full screen on each press. The only way I can pop out the PFD (or any instrument display) is to hold the R-ALT key(L-ALT does not work), place the cursor over the required display, wait for the cursor to change to a + icon then left click the mouse, which is the documented method to pop out a display.

The behaviour was identical with the C172-G1000 loaded.

Attempting with (right) alt and left click only shows the + but does not pop out the window
