  1. Questions about FancyZones (maximizing windows)


    I just set up a secondary monitor in portrait and configured FancyZones to allow me to snap to the top and bottom halves on it. When you override the Win + Left/Right arrow keys, there are a couple situations I have questions about:

    • Windows + Up arrow doesn't maximize a screen anymore. I've gotten around this by getting used to the CTRL + Win + ALT + Direction to combine the window with whatever adjacent zone effectively functioning like maximizing a window. Is this the only way?
    • When I have a window maximized on a screen, is there a way to instantly go back to half of the screen? Is there a way to get Windows to ask me what I'd like to fit on the other half like it did before?

  2. Windows won't maximize

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    I understand the inconvenience that you are unable to maximize/minimize the programs in Windows 10, we will help you to resolve this issue.

    Kindly let us know with the following information:

    • Is this issue specific to any applications/programs?
    • Were you able to see the maximize, minimize and close icons?
    • Have you tried to perform these using different user account?

    This issue might be due to corrupted/ missing system files.

    I suggest you to run System File Checker and check if it helps:

    Method 1: Run the SFC.

    System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

    Follow the below steps:


    • Right click on the Start button, click on
      Command Prompt (Admin).

    • Type “sfc /scannow” without quotes and hit
      Enter.

    • After the scan, restart the computer.

    • Now check for the issue.

    Hope this information is helpful. Kindly update the status of the issue. We will be happy to assist you.
