I'm suddenly having an odd issue with Macrium. Today is the first time this has happened and it is not a 'one off'. Although it is not happening every time it is happening more often than not, even after a restart.

When I go to make a disk image the sub window that opens is suddenly appearing to low down on the screen and so the buttons to do anything are hidden. This means I can not do anything and the only way to clear the screen is to open task manager and close Macrium.

The border of the Window is below the point where it is draggable. Occasionally it opens correctly (second image).

So I seeing this:

When I should be seeing this:

These were the latest two Intel updates delivered via Windows update today:

You should be able to drag that window anywhere?

Hmm. I tried that and it didn't move at all.

Just trying again and this time it has opened OK and the window does drag but I must admit it only seems draggable if the cursor is in the top few millimetres of the window. I could drag the top border OK, I remember that.

I'll have to try and get it to do the same again. Lol, maybe it won't now having moved the window.

Just done a restart and it opened correctly this time. Odd. Maybe I didn't just position the cursor right at the top but thast seems such a rookie error. Perhaps there being no distinguishing top border meant I didn't get close enough.

Occasionally it would open in the correct position though, without me doing anything.

I'll obviously keep a watch...

I prefer Macrium in light mode.

Light mode definitely shows the top header area more clearly. It is now opening correctly each time... so I'm kind of 99% sure it was my error in that it probably would have been draggable.

Do you use screen scaling at all? That might be causing an issue, maybe due to Windows or iGPU updates.

That's a complicated one. I use 125% scaling in the standard Windows setting screen and then apply custom settings using Shawn's reg files. Nothing has changed though in my set up and today is the first day I encountered this issue (just tried it again and still OK).

So from my notes which help make clean installs easy:

Currently using:

125% for Scaling. Set from dropdown. Scale affects File Explorer, Edge and the Taskbar.
100% for Text Size. Default setting.

Windows 11 Font Sizes.

Notes.
Icons Size. This will affect the text font size for icons in Address bars, Desktop, File Explorer. Icons will resize according to overall DPI setting.
Title Bars. These are the headers at the top of the page or program that is open.
Menus. These are top line view in programs such as File/Edit/View etc.

Icons 12 Bold
Title Bars 11 Bold
Message Boxes 9 Bold (currently not applied)
Menus 11 Bold

Notepad Text and Font can be set separately Using font size 10.

Registry Key to export settings:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics
