  1. Why do windows keep collapsing into small rectangles? Very annoying!


    Hello. When viewing any window in half screen, when I hit the Home key and one of the arrows to move that half window to the opposite side of the screen, the window collapses into a small rectangle on the opposite side of the screen. If I then resize the window to half screen, hit the expand button upper right-hand corner, the window will expand to full screen. If I then hit the restore button the window will become a half screen, which is fine. However, if I then once again hit the Home key and one of the arrows to move that half window to the opposite side of the screen, the window once again collapses into a small rectangle on the opposite side of the screen. This happens with any and all windows whether it's a document, web page, everything. Is there any solution to this very annoying problem? Thank you.

    :)

    how do you collapse an indented bullet list whem using the OneNote app on windows phone 8.1?

    Thank you Jergen.

    I often make an outline on my pc/rt that I collapse.

    For example:

    • topic A
      • detail
      • detail
      • detail
    can be collapsed by bringing my cursor to the bullet next to topic A and clicking .... the result being

    • topic A (with a small plus sign + to the left of the bullet, with details hidden, but able to be revealed which when the + is clicked.

    I cannot figure out how to do this on my windows phone, where it would be particularly useful given the small screen. When I tap the bullet to collapse or uncollapse the detail, nothing happens.

    Hope this clarifies!

    Why do windows keep collapsing into small rectangles? Very annoying!

    Open / Save as dialog boxes - choose whether to expand or collapse as default

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you would like to have a collapsed view of the items on the navigation pane of the File Explorer while saving a file. To do this, I would suggest you to try the steps listed below and see if it works.



    • Open File Explorer
      and click on the View tab.
    • Click on the drop down next to
      Navigation Pane and uncheck Show all folders.
    • Exit File Explorer
      and try saving a file now.


    Regards,
