  1. Can't resize/maximize window


    Hey there. I wanted to make a game GTA IV run in windowed mode the game runs in fullscreen mode and there is no option within the game's settings to change the mode as I often switch between windows. I added the line "-windowed" without quotations to a command line file inside the game folder and I successfully got the game to run in windowed mode. However, I'm not able to resize the window to my liking and I cannot maximize the window as the "maximize window" button doesn't show up in the title bar. I mostly just want to maximize the window not fullscreen, just maximize the window so

    :)

    Can't resize apps except to minimize or maximize


    A few days ago, the windows for my apps stopped allowing me to resize them. I can minimize or maximize the windows, but nothing in between.

    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.

  4. Can't resize/maximize window

    Windows are not "really" maximized after waking.

    Hi Robert,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. I understand your concern and I am glad to assist you.

    Please follow the steps and check.

    1)Close the window by selecting File > Exit

    2) Resize the SECOND window by dragging the sides to the desired view. DO NOT click on the "maximize window"

    3) Close this resized window by selecting File > Exit

    4) Open up File explorer again and in future it should open up in a full maximized window.

    Also update all the display drivers from the manufacturer's website and check.

    Hope this helps. Get back to us for further queries. We are happy to help!
