Help stuck in MSE!

The cat has been on the keyboard

I am on MSE site and its filling up the whole page, no toolbar showing at the top or bottom of screen.

I know there will be a shortcut key for this but don't know what it is. I can't google it as can't get out of this screen.

Thanks

Try tapping the F11 key or the "esc" key.
If that doesn't work, use the windows key:

and get to Internet explorer or other web browser from there.

Thank you I had already tried "esc"

F11 worked :j

I should have pressed windows key and googled, I didn't think of that

No, just "full-screen view":

Yes, it's called kiosk mode.
It's used for terminals (kiosks) for example in McDonald's where you order your food.

For the poster above, yes I suppose It can be described as full screen mode, if you like I can link to a Microsoft article calling it kiosk mode, but then I'd just be being a smart !!! wouldn't I

I guess the company can turn off the option for the employee to switch back to normal. I am just grateful the cat didn't work out how to do that :rotfl:

Out of curiosity I'd be interested. I'd never heard of 'kiosk mode', but then I still use Windows 7, and as far as I can tell the function with it's current name was only introduced in 8.1:think:

I've tried finding references to 'kiosk mode' / F11, but it I've found so far is full screen/F11 and kiosk mode / -k
