    Disable window resizing and moving during rotation


    I have a convertible and I routinely change its orientation. For example, I may change from laptop to tablet in landscape mode. If I rotate it such that the screen stays upright, it will flip the desktop upside down to match the recommended orientation fan exhaust at the back. Then I must do a flat spin to get the fans to the top. If it senses a portrait orientation, even briefly, as often happens when spinning the screen, it will instantly resize the desktop and every window with a left border that exceeds the new screen width, jamming them to the left. When rotation finishes, the desktop will resize again, but the windows will not, since they all fit in the "new" landscape orientation.


    How do I disable window resizing on desktop change to prevent this?

    :)

    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.

    Disable window resizing and moving during rotation

    How to disable Windows 10 window resize behavior after snapping?

    I like Windows' snapping features, for the most part. I have trouble with one aspect of the feature, which resizes a window back to its previous size after snapping, if you move the window. I would rather keep the window at the snapped size.

    Follow these steps to see what I mean:

    1. Open a new window
      • Note the size of the window at this point
    2. Snap it to the side of the screen (Win + LeftArrow)
    3. Resize the window to be shorter
    4. Move the window to another spot

    You will observe after step 4 that the window returns to the size it was in step 1. Windows remembers that size and recalls it when you move the window. Is there a way to have Windows keep the size I set via snap/resize instead of the previous size?
