Hi usually when it comes to resizing any item on the OS, i should be able to grab the corner and pull in and out to resize.
However, after new upgrade from 11 Home to Pro, something must have happened. Now I'm unable to get that diagonal arrow to pull and resize.
It would just 'skip' in and out of the corner. Is there a way to fix this?

Thank you!

Click to expand...
I have no problems resizing windows. I find it's a lot easier to use if I turn on Click Lock in Additional mouse settings.

Hi, im sorry. This is what I meant to say. Usually if I want to resize anything, I just have to hover my cursor over some of the edges of the object -- for example a browser window, or an object in powerpoint -- and that double-sided arrow will appear. However, right now I'm unable to see that, and it makes it difficult for me to resize any object.
