I've found it only happens if you click anything while the game is launching after you click Play on Steam or if you click while changing resolutions.
Basically, when you click Play, don't do anything at all with your mouse. MHW should pick up focus correctly and remove the black borders.

Much appreciated thank you.

I'm glad that worked.
I just find that fix to be very weird but atleast there's a solution.

You can also use borderless mode too, I'm using that all the time since release and it fix the problem just fine while in full screen

That's the easy fix, but it lowers my fps by 2 and causes severe screen tearing, so it wasn't an option for me.

I'm have steady 42-44 fps whether I'm using borderless or fullscreen without a single tearing and never dip lower than 40 too
My spec is
i7-7700HQ
gtx 1050ti
8gb ram
with .36 driver version
Could be the spec or driver?

Ryzen 5 1600, GTX 1050 Ti, 399.07 drivers without deleting/modifying the Nvidia inspector profile.
About your same FPS but going as high as 55 or so, and as low as 30 with lots of particle effects going around.
Doing anything to the nvidia inspector profile lowers FPS so I have to keep it default. I tried plenty of things but overall I'm basically forced to stick to regular fullscreen. That works for me either way.

Nice to know it's helping several people and that it's not just something that casually worked for me.

Thank but I'm already satisfied with my fps and setting, effect of using a potato to play for too long

I had this problem for the last two weeks and was very curious about a solution. Note, that the performance of the game is drastically decreased with the black borders because your GPU has to scale it down, so you may now why the game runs like ♥♥♥♥ with the black borders.

After a lot of research and tries to fix it myself, I found the following solutions:

1) The best solution first:
Visit the Nvidia Control Panel, navigate to Display->Adjust desktop size and position. Check the box "Override the scaling mode set by games and programs" and now the important step. Monster Hunter has to be closed and you have to set it to "Aspect Ratio", then save and apply. After that set it back again to Fullscreen. Once again save and apply.
This is a reallly annoying workaround but it was the only things that worked for me. Note: You have to do that every time before you launch the game.

But there are other solutions, too, that worked for others:

2) Visit the Monster Hunter .exe. Navigate to "Compatibility" and check "Disable full-screen optimisations.

3) Check "Run this program as an administrator"

4) Run the compatibility mode for Windows 8. Surprisingly that just decreased the thickness of the borders. But it worked for others.

I am so glad to find a workaround at the very least because the fps drops could kill me sometimes. I hope this will be fixed with an update and I wish you Happy Hunting!

restarting the game doesn't ever change anything

has anyone other advice ?

i'm on a 21:9 2k screen , resolution and format are correctly assigned.

thanks
