  1. Mouse drag and resizing issues


    HiI have been having issues relating to my mouse recently, every time I try to drag a window it just doesn't work and when it does it drops the window mid-drag, this also happens when I try to resize. At first, I thought my external mouseI'm using a laptop was the problem and then tried it with the mouse pad and same results I'm beginning to think that both my peripherals are broken. I have updated the OS to the latest updates NOT ON INSIDER PROGRAM and My Razer Mamba wireless is also up to date. I also noticed a new trend, when I try to drag the action maximises the window.Any help is

    :)

    ( Still ) Can't resize Start Menu by dragging

    I did a fresh install of Windows 10 on a new computer.

    I then resized the Start Menu by dragging it vertically and horizontally. Worked.

    Then, Windows prompted for a restart due to new updates. Did that.

    Now, I cannot resize the Start Menu by dragging. Nothing happens.

    I can't make it smaller. I can't make it bigger. Nothing.

    Tried a suggestion of holding the Windows key and using the arrow keys. Nothing.

    How do I do it?

    How to: Resize Start horizontally on a PC

    Hi all,

    the problem turned out to be some kind of an error 44. So resizing of Start horizontally works. The question is
    "How to" achieve the resizing?

    Important to know: In my configuration with a widescreen monitor, I have positioned the task bar to the right edge of the viewport. Here the explanation:

    • When resizing vertically Start is expanded smoothly synchronized with to mouse dragging movement.
    • When resizing horizontally the mouse move has no effect when one starts dragging. After dragging the mouse further and further, suddenly the vertical edge jumps to a new position when the mouse pointer passes some invisible raster line calculated from
      the horizontal size of the tiles on Start.
    How to expand Start horizontally: Drag the vertical edge patiently some inches and be happy when it jumps to its new and perfectly tile friendly position.

    It's another surprise from the multi device coding camp called Microsoft. It's not that bad than the fading scroll bars but it is close to it. Usability testing was yesterday.
