    Hello. Lately I have problem with using some applications/software/games. I uploaded 2 screenshots to show what exactly I mean.

    One of it is a game and the other is a software. I can hear the game's music on the background but I cant resize it or make it full screen.

    I reinstalled them but it doesnt help. Thanks in advance.

    moving and resizing

    Hi Bob,

    There may be several reasons why you are unable to resize or move applications after installing an update. To better assist you with your concern, we would like you to answer the questions below:

    • Does it happen only on one application?
    • Which application are you having issues resizing or moving?

    In the meantime, we suggest you to run the Windows 10 troubleshooter. Kindly follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key +X, select
      Control panel
    • Change the view by option on the top right to
      Large icons
    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the
      view all option on the left panel
    • Run the Windows Store apps troubleshooter
    Let us know how it goes.
