There are some dialog boxes and application windows that cannot be resized conventionally using the click and drag method. For instance, the Internet Options window cannot be resized using the regular action. Previously, we have covered applications that allow you to resize any window, for instance, ResizeEnable is one such previously covered application that lets users resize the unresizable windows. However, it is limited to only enabling users to resize the windows. If you want a program that lets you resize windows and also provides you with other options, such as move windows, hide windows, change their opacity etc, try AltMove. It is a portable application for Windows that adds more functionality to your mouse for interacting with dialog boxes. The program allows you to perform several functions, including moving windows that do not support moving by default, resize windows that cannot be resized using the normal method, change the opacity of dialog boxes with intervals of 10%, minimize and maximize applications etc. Keep reading to find out more about AltMove.

Modern operating systems like Windows 10, Windows 8 or Windows 7 allow you to perform few extra actions with windows. They allow you to control the size and positioning of open windows better by dragging them to the edge of the screen. If you drag a window using its title bar to the top edge of the screen, it will be maximized. With the mouse pointer touching the left or right edges of the screen when dragging a window, it will be snapped to the left or right side of the screen respectively. This feature is called Snap.
If you grab the title bar of a window with the mouse and drag and shake it, all other background windows will be minimized. This is called Aero Shake. Both actions have their own hotkeys:Win + Home: Same as Aero Shake (minimizes all windows except the foreground window)Win + Left arrow key: Snaps an app window to the left.Win + Right arrow key: Snaps an app window to the right.Win + Up arrow key: Maximizes a window.Win + Shift + Up arrow key: Maximizes/resizes a window vertically.Win + Down arrow key: Minimizes a window if it's not maximized, otherwise it restores the window to its original non-maximized sized.
On my install (Freya) the default key for this functionality is actually Super (meta/windows key). You can change this in dconf-editor by navigating to org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences and setting mouse-button-modifier to
Arranging your workspace in Windows 10 can sometimes feel like a tedious process with your mouse. Luckily, you can use many keyboard shortcuts to switch, snap, minimize, maximize, move, or resize windows.

You can add or edit the actions to be performed by mouse buttons, but with specific key strokes. It provides a set of actions which can be edited with a combination of a mouse click and a key.

Also, third-party applications like Neat Mouse can cause this type of behaviour for the cursor.\r\n\r\nKeyboard and mouse are the most used of input devices. Both these devices have their specific usage. When a user tries to use any of the direction keys of the keyboard to perform a certain operation but the key, instead of performing that operation, starts to move the cursor. This makes the user experience quite frustrating and annoying.\r\n\r\nBefore trying any of the solutions, make sure that the option of \u201cMouse Keys\u201d is disabled in Ease of Access in Settings. These settings are present in Windows to facilitate the user who doesn't have a mouse or their mouse is malfunctioning. This option is usually disabled by default but can be enabled by mistake. To check this, follow the steps:\r\n\r\n \tPress Windows + R, type \"Mouse keys\" in the dialogue box and open the setting of 'Turn Mouse keys on or off'.\r\n \tNow, uncheck the option of Control your mouse with a keypad. Save changes and exit.\r\n\r\n\r\n \tRestart your computer and see if the issue is resolved.\r\n\r\nAlso, you can log-in through another administrator account to check if the problem is affecting one user account.\r\nStop Cursor from Moving by itself on Windows 10\r\nWe have listed two methods below that should resolve the issue.\r\n1. Force Close MS Paint Process\r\nMicrosoft Paint allows a user to move the cursor with the arrow keys. But the problem arises when, due to a software glitch, MS Paint does not \u201crealize\u201d that it has lost focus and is running in the background, thus keeps the behaviour of controlling the cursor with the arrow keys. In that case, killing all the MS Paint processes in the background may solve the problem.\r\n\r\n \tNow Right-click on the Task Bar and in the resulting menu, click on the \"Task Manager\".\r\n\r\n\r\n \tIn the Processes tab, right-click on Paint and then select End Task.\r\n\r\n\r\n \tAlso, end the tasks of all the processes related to Paint\u00a0and check if the cursor is functioning normally.\r\n\r\n2. Manage Conflicting Applications\r\nThere are 3rd party applications like Neat Mouse which can let direction keys to control cursor movement. To rule that out, clean boot Windows or use safe mode.\r\n\r\n \tClean Boot Windows or Use Safe Mode.\r\n \tNow check if the cursor is performing normally.\r\n \tIf the mouse is working fine, it means that there was some third-party application causing the problem. In that case, try enabling the services\/applications one by one and see which one causes the issue again.\r\n \tOnce you have identified the application, press Windows + R, type \"appwiz.cpl\"\u00a0in the dialogue box and press Enter.\r\n \tOnce in the application manager, search for the application, right-click on it and select\u00a0Uninstall.\r\n \tRestart your computer and see if the issue has resolved.\r\n\r\nAlso consider\u00a0unplugging\u00a0all of your peripherals connected to your computer. Sometimes, peripherals like mice, gaming controllers, or other HCI devices from your computer. Then\u00a0power cycle\u00a0your device completely. You can also check BIOS settings to make sure that the default mouse settings are saved.","publisher":"@id":"#Publisher","@type":"Organization","name":"Appuals.com","logo":"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/appuals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/apuals_new_logo_B-1.png","publishingPrinciples":"https:\/\/appuals.com\/about\/#go-to-editorial-guidelines","sameAs":["https:\/\/facebook.com\/appuals","https:\/\/twitter.com\/appuals","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/appuals\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCR--2QnA0vYBfqsmSI3pQ9g","https:\/\/www.crunchbase.com\/organization\/appuals"],"author":"@type":"Person","name":"Kevin Arrows","url":"https:\/\/appuals.com\/author\/admin\/","description":"Kevin is a dynamic and self-motivated information technology professional, with a Thorough knowledge of all facets pertaining to network infrastructure design, implementation and administration.
