Every time I open Google, its screen is the size of an envelope and I have to either expand it from the corners or click on the square shown on the left hand side. I thought Windows was supposed to remember the screen size and it would automatically resize itself after a time, it's not happening.

Can anyone help please, is it a setting somewhere that needs altering?? Please see screen shot.

To force Windows to record the size of a window and set it as the default size for that program each time it's opened, simply re-size the window to your preferred size, then depress and hold the CTRL key while you click the red X to close it. The program should use that size as the default size until changed.

Not for nothing, but that's not "Google", but IE showing "http://www.google.com" What happens if you open IE, then type "www.google.com" in the address bar?

You don't simply "open Google". The icon on your desktop is merely a shortcut to IE opening Google.com. My suggestion is to bookmark the Google page, then when you open IE, you open the bookmark to the Google webpage.

Other Info
This is probably the longest I've ever had a Windows machine run without having to restore it to scratch. I'm used to restoring to "factory" about every 2 yrs. I've run with Win7 since new in 2009 and only recently (Nov, '14) restored to clean up the machine from all my 'xperimenting. LOL!! I may never need another machine.

Upgraded to 10 when it was still free, then installed 2017 update.
