    Resizing File Explorer Window


    When I open File Explorer the window opens maximized and will not let me resize it. The minimize (-) and close (x) buttons work ok but the center button doesn't do anything when picked. I am new to windows 10, my old system was XP. Any help/ideas would be appreciated.

    :)

    Can't resize File Explorer windows

    File Explorer won't let me resize the window. I am stuck with a giant file explorer window. Why is this happening? Other windows will resize. File Explorer won't even change my cursor to arrows near the edges.
