Open Folder is locked in full screen

Post by Ken429 »

Description of problem or question:
I use Handbrake on several systems and the "Open Folder with one or more files" option opens in a small window as it should. However, somewhere along the line I did something on one of the systems that causes the "Open Folder..." to be in full screen mode. I cannot figure out have to get the program to go back to it's normal window. I have tried un-install and re-install and nothing changes. There must be something in the registry or somewhere that is messed up.



Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
Does it every time on one system.



HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):

Latest version, I just updated to the latest version of Handbrake but the problem has been with me for several versions.


Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
Windows 11 Pro with all the updates and fixes. As I said above the problem has been with me for several versions of W11 and probably W10 I just don't remember back that far.

Unless you purged Windows' registry of Handbrake's footprints, you did not fully uninstall the program. Until someone offers a better solution, you can do the following:

1. Back up your registry.
2. Run a search for Handbrake in Windows and manually remove any leftover files/folders.
3. Use Windows' Regedit to find and remove all the leftover keys in the registry. Resplendence offers a free Home version of its fabulous "Registrar Registry Manager" that finds all the keys and removes them with one click.

What happens, when you doubleclick on the title bar of the "Open folder" window? It might not have a maximize or minimize icon, but doubleclicking on the title bar should disable full screen
