  1. Why does Notepad not retain larger size?


    I always make Notepad the maximum size, i.e. the size of my monitor. But then Windows always shrinks it down to a tiny size with each login / boot. Is there any way to force it to stay larger?

    :)

    Notepad consuming cpu 40%


    Your screenshot of Task Manager and the notepad.exe properties shows the same size and creation date as in @dalchina's earlier screenshot. So it looks like it is the real notepad that's running.

    But - it isn't running the way it should. In your Task Manager there should be a > to the left of notepad, and clicking on it should open up a list of the Notepad instances that are running, along with the name of the document that's open (or 'Untitled - Notepad' if none).

    Yours doesn't show that (compare it with dalchina's screenshot). Notepad is running - yes, but not the way it's supposed to. It appears to be in the list of background processes, not in the list of Apps where it should be. Could something be trying to run it as a service? Perhaps some malware set this up, but failed to replace the genuine notepad.exe with its counterfeit one?

    As a first step I'd look at the Startup tab in Task Manager for clues.

    Sizing the tool bars in windows live mail

    Hi Howard,

    Thank you for your response.

    There is no such options available to particularly make texts larger in such sections.

    The only option you can try is to Hold the Ctrl + Mouse Scroll to increase
    the text size/Zoom the text size.

    I would also suggest you to check the below steps and check if it helps.

    • Press Start button.
    • Type Larger or Smaller, Select the Make text and other items Larger or Smaller.
    • Try adjusting the Font Size and check.
    Note: This options changes the Fonts on the whole in Windows depending on the selections of option.

    Example: Taskbar, Menus.

    Keep us posted to help you better.
