Windows 10. Can't Resize Video Game Windows

in windows 7 i could resize video game windows perfectly but in windows 10 i cant resize unless i check disable display scaling on high DPI settings and even then when i start to resize the second i let go it just automatically resizes to the smallest size
it can possibly be.

Is there something im overlooking?

How do i change it to the size i want it to be?

 

Resizing windows

It is not about resolution. Its about resizing of a window. When I do resizing using mouse pointers. The effect of the resizing doesn't show up in real-time while dragging. Instead when i leave the mouse click, that is when the window gets resized. What
I want is that while click and dragging the mouse, the window should resize itself in real-time. I just cannot find the setting for that. Can you help?

 

Have a look at this and see if it helps:

Otherwise I would suggest you consider doing an in-place upgrade repair install (which retains almost all settings and all programs) unless you have a system restore point or disk image created before experiencing this problem.

 

Did a clean install from a jump drive. Now I am going to backup my system with Easeus To Do.

 

Most likely, the "restored" windows (the size between full screen and totally minimized - the "middle" button) are out of the display limits, so you can't SEE the windows when they are in that middle position. They are "out of bounds" so to speak.

You didn't have to do a full restore or re-install, just use one of these tricks:

Windows: Bring Off-Screen Window Back Onto Screen

Basically you just hit "restore" on the missing windows, then hold shift while r/clicking on the tab in the taskbar. Then slide your mouse up, or down, or to either side until the window appears again.

This is a common problem, so bookmark that. Sorry I didn't see this sooner!

 

Thanks XweAponx for the link. I also had the problem of not being able to right click. Also, The start menu popped up on the desktop and would not close.

 

That's unusual, no mouse/using the OSK? There should be a button combination or a key combination to emulate a right click I can't remember what it is though.

If you have something like an old Apple mouse with only one button you can do shift click I believe to get a right click
