Windows 10: Is there a fix for the invisible Windows borders?

I know this is an old issue, but I don't think there has ever been a solution. After all this time, I'm still not used to having invisible borders. Often I click on the wrong window. Any suggestions? I have Windows version 1903

:)

 

Windows 10 invisible borders (possibly 7 pixels wide)

For me, one of the main cons of Windows 10 is it's invisible borders for windows. The invisible border is usually 7 pixels wide. I did make a workaround for this in AutoHotkey, the code is here: A fix for Windows 10 invisible borders (and Aero Snap) - AutoHotkey Community

However, there are situations where this code doesn't work. Also it's very annoying to see windows changing size even though the new size is much better (without the useless margin).

I've noticed that some programs don't know exactly how to behave with this border. For example, for FlashFXP 5, it seems to snap horizontally to 7 px off the edge, but on the bottom it can either snap off or not snap. It's always crucial what happens after closing and reopening too.

What is this invisible border for in the first place? So that for touch screens it'd be easier to grab the very edge?

Is there still no way to disable this? Or what is the best workaround to get rid of this? I want my windows to be exactly where I want, not forced by the operating system. (I do have this setting OFF: Arrange windows automatically by dragging them to the sides or corners of the screen.)

Invisible sizing borders on windows -- don't like

In my transition from Win7 to Win10 I am frequently bothered by the "invisible" sizing borders on most of the windows. I try to click on an underlying window (which is clearly visible) but instead I find myself sizing the foreground window.

In addition I use screen capture programs that can't tell the difference between a visible and non-visible border, and I end up getting a sliver of the screen background that I have to trim away.

This change seems to be for those who really like borderless windows, but I'm not one of them. I like to see what I'm clicking on.

Please consider this my official request to allow us to get back the visible borders, through an option or whatever.
