New Edge window sizes.

Question

All windows in my new Edge open too large, cutting off a half inch at the top of the screen. The 3 boxes (Reduce, Half-size, and Close X) are not visible. I can move the mouse up under the top bar and try clicking the shutdown in the blind but not what I want. Help!

Hi PaulLapense,

No worries. I hope that performing the suggested steps resolves your issue.

I also suggest to go over this checklist to ensure that the installation of windows on your machine is set up properly: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for...

However, in case the issue still persist, I suggest performing a repair install of your Windows:

You may also look into the Windows 10 recovery options (system restore). Please see this article for details: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12415/...

Good day! I'm Raniel, an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you.

Have you tried to reset the settings of MS Edge?

1. Open Microsoft Edge and go to Settings and more (...) button from the top-right.
2. Under the settings, click on Reset settings and select the reset option
3. Re-launch the browser and check again.

You may also go to Settings > Apps > Apps & Features > search and select Microsoft Edge > click on Advanced options > under Reset, select "Repair" or "Reset".

Kindly run the SFC and DISM command as well to repair system files

2. Type the following commands in order

sfc /scannow then press Enter

Dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /CheckHealth then press Enter

Dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth then press Enter

rundll32.exe pnpclean.dll,RunDLL_PnpClean /DRIVERS /MAXCLEAN then press Enter

I hope this helps.
