Computer Issues

KCI · Sep 30, 2015

I have a new Dell computer with Windows 10 on it and Office 13. Every time I open any thing on this computer it comes up small and I have to hit the maximize button to enlarge it. Anyone know what I can do to fix it so I don't have to do that every time?

Don't have a Windows 10 machine, but this article seems to explain how to open apps in the last saved size (or minimized or maximized):

Thanks! Will give it a try.

Tried but was unable to complete because my Windows 10 is different than what the instructions said. Anyone else have any ideas?

I had downloaded it and 1hour later went back to Windows 7 double yuk!

I have been using IE Windows Maximizer for years in Win 7. Don't know if it is recommended for Win 10 or not. I'd drop an e-mail to majorgeeks.com and see what they say.

You can give this a try but it enlarges everything. Click the windows icon, settings, system, display and move the slide bar to the right. (125%) Be sure you're closed out of everything because you have to restart the computer. At least that's what I did. Don't know how to 'sign out' of microsoft and back in a different way. Good luck. EDIT: Actually when I changed it back it just seemed to close down Windows and then brought up the login screen. However, it did not seem to do a complete shutdown and restart.

I'm not sure in what way you mean it's different. But, anyway... resize the window to the size you'd like for it to be and then hold down {CTRL} and then click the X in the top right of the window to close it out. It should then remember the window size.

That should work, but I don't have a Windows 10 machine to test it on right now.

Click the ctrl key and move the scroll button on your mouse to re-size the text. When you close your browser, it should keep the new settings.
