I often have several Explorer windows open to different file systems. When I hover over the file folder in the task bar, I usually see all of the mini explorer windows and I can select which one I want up on the screen. But every so often, one of them shows up smaller than the others. Like the image on the left below. The center Explorer view is skinny. Yesterday, it was the same size as the other views.
The views on the left and right can be reopened easily. But the one in the center will no longer open up. The only thing I can do with it is delete it and open a new Explorer view. When I do that, it opens up a small 2"x1" window (image on the right) that I have to expand to a larger size and then navigate to where I want to be. I don't recall ever seeing this on W10 and have only seen this 2 or 3 times since I updated to W11 in December. My OS is fully up to date.
It's not a big deal as I can deal with it quickly. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this.
