Hello.. not sure if this is a bug or if I'm completely brain dead, but my windows are all locked in position, and I cannot move any of them.. For example, my explorer window cannot be selected so that I can move it to the left side of my screen and dock it there..

The "floating location options" does not appear, and I cannot adjust my window sizes..

Looking for any help.. thanks.

Can you try right-clicking on your Quick Access Toolbar and then select Customize Quick Access Toolbar.

In the Customize Ribbon dialog, uncheck Show Quick Access Toolbar below the Ribbon.

Hit OK to see if this makes any difference

Hi Peter,

I tried that previously, but to no avail. It's really odd..

Yeah, I have never seen that before. Maybe some config files have been corrupted.

Have you tried reaching out to our tech support team?
