Computer screen-- badly aligned windows
To all you experts out there how do I correct a sudden misalignment of the windows on my laptop.
I have 3 windows open, the first leaves about 3 mm of the start screen showing on the left and about 1mm at the top, the other 2 are offset by the same amount on the previous window.
I can move them from the corners so they are aligned at the top but cannot correct the L/H side.
Any ideas?

Re: Computer screen-- badly aligned windows
There seems to be all sorts of problems with window placement since the last major update to Windows 10.
One trick that sometimes works is to right click on the header bar, of the window that you want to position, and select "size". Position the window where you want it and all should be good.

Thank you David that has worked, in fact pressing and holding the left button whilst in the header space seems to do the same thing, unless my laptop is still holding the size function, anyway I now know how to correct this in future.david63 wrote: 12 Jul 2019, 10:46There seems to be all sorts of problems with window placement since the last major update to Windows 10.
