    What do you do when "restore down" does not change the window size, it is still full screen?


    I want to downsize a window so i can drag/drop from it. But it occupies the full screen. When i hit the "restore down" icon at the top right of the window, it does not change size. Minimize works, but "restore down" does not change anything. I cannot find a way to grab the edge of the window to resize it.So, waht to i do. Stuck forever with full screen size? Its the Windows Explorer i am trying to do this with. Of course i closed it and tried to restart it, but even with restarting it comes up full screen size.Thank you.

    :)

  4. What do you do when "restore down" does not change the window size, it is still full screen?

    Screen size does not fix.

    Since the new upgrades the screen size is too big for my 7 YR old Toshiba Laptop, which I use constantly. I Can not access the x or the scroll bar. The character's are Hugh, stretched and distorted. I have followed every single step listed in troubleshooting
    and even paid two computer techs to fix it. NOTHING WORKS! There used to be a simple one step adjustment: Settings: Display: Screen Size. Neither, Resetting, troubleshooting app, driver updates, changing to another resolution (which btw is suggested as a
    fix but non existant) nothing works. I am at wits end. The last guy I paid to fix it suggested I just buy anew unit? I can't afford that. Please please address this issue asap. Thank you
