Windows 10: Resizing Pages + Desktop View

One moment I am happily working on my PC then, after clicking on 'New Email', I found that the email message covered the entire screen. Usually, it opens at a smaller size so I assume that to be the default size. When I went to reduce its size - by clicking on the overlapping pages symbol top right of the monitor - the email wasn't reduced in size. It was as if the monitor was frozen.
Did I inadvertently press the wrong keys on my keyboard to set something up I shouldn't or did an update or some corruption in Windows 10 bring this about? I do wonder if it's the latter because my normal desktop view is not the usual one. I see three boxes - here's a screen shot. I don't want to see this! I want my old screen back! Also, I do wonder if there's a glitch in the PC because when I click an icon on the Task Bar, it sometimes doesn't open. Help!! Processing...x
