  1. Can't resize any windows to anything other than full screen


    My mom is running Windows 10 Home on a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 and she can't resize any windows with the corner, 90% of her windows don't have a resize button, and she can only snap left and right with windows. I've messed with all the settings I can think of and nothing has fixed her issues. She hasn't installed the 20H2 Update yet. I'm having her do that now. Any tips or ideas?
