    Shrinking open windows


    How do I stop Windows 10 from resizing and repositioning my windows when my computer goes to sleep?This has been a daily aggravation since I "upgraded" from Win7. When I leave the computer unattended for a period, most not all of my open windows shrink and move to the upper left, destroying my workspace. For some reason, Word Perfect is unaffected, staying right where I left it. Obviously, this is a minor nuisance to fix once but when it has to be fixed several times a day, every day, for years, it adds up.The only solution I have found is in Settings / Power Options, to set the time to t

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

  3. AMD to Give 20 nm Optical Shrinks to Console SoCs First

    Scroll down to list of revisions. Die shrinks are not consumer relevant with consoles. They bring no performance changes because consistency is the entire point of them. Unless you're batshit crazy Nintendo that is, then you get the "new 3DS" half step BS.

    Screen Shrinking

    Hi Tracey,

    In order to help you with your concern about the screen of your computer which is constantly shrinking, may we request you to answer the following questions first:

    • Have you made any recent changes to your computer system prior to getting this issue?
    • What is the version and build of your Windows 10? To know these information, use the following steps:

    • Press Windows key + R.
    • Once the Run box appears, type Winver.
    • Press Enter.
    • Check for the Windows Build and Version.

    (Click this link should you need to update your device and to access the Windows 10 update history as well.)

    • Aside from updating the drivers, what other troubleshooting steps have you taken so far? This is for us to avoid redundancy.

    We look forward to your response.

    Regards.
