Windows 10: How to Permanently fix resizing of computer window every time on restart

After upgrading Windows 10 to Windows 11 in 2024 on HP All-in-One, computer began resizing downsizing the screen instead of full screen view after one of the regular updates. Now, always have to go to Settings, Display, Resize from 640x480 to recommended size, select Keep and then every few minutes it keeps trying to downsize it making the screen jump but keeping the selected size until I log out. Then next log in it is the same routine.

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.

 

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
