Windows 10: How did I make it so I can't move windows above the top inch of the desktop? And how to I...

About a week ago, I did something (hit a key combination or something) and the web browser I was using moved down about an inch from the top of the desktop. I tried to move it back up, but it won't go, unless I maximize the window. This is true for all other programs, not just the browser. I have no idea what I did to make that happen, but I'd really like it to stop.


Anyone know what I did and how to fix it?


TIA

:)

 

If I try to open firefox, ie or chrome it is an inch lower and nothing works in the top inch.
