    What is the Arrow symbol and how do I make it stop!


    This symbol showed up on my Windows 10 pages, any document or any open window. I believe it is responsible for windows that I try to move or resize to snap to full screen no matter what I do or what screen is up. Please advise. I believe this started on the last update for Windows 10. It's extremely annoying because I have several window open at a time and if I try to move one the window goes to full size.

    Desktop Arrow Symbols

    The arrow symbol in your screen capture is the standard arrow for a shortcut, it does not mean compression !!

    down arrow key stopped working

    My razor lycosa down arrow key decided to not respond at some point today. The other ones work and so does the numpad arrow if i turn off the numlock. Sounds like its just broken and im screwed, but any suggestions?

    What is the Arrow symbol and how do I make it stop!

    The cursor changes the shape from the arrow to a circle with an up arrow and an arrow down

    When I have opened a program like Edge on my Windows 10 PC, the cursor changes form from an arrow to a circle with an up arrow and an arrow down.
    This new symbol can not activate anything by moving it around with the mouse.
    To close the open program, press Ctrl + Alt + Del to get to the job list.
    At the same time, the circle symbol turns into the well-known arrow, and I can continue the work normally.

    How do I avoid the annoying circle icon?
