Hi again, I have a problem. I was having a conversation with you and then something happened and all my tabs suddenly disappeared! And not only tabs, the bar at the bottom and the buttons in the top-right corner of the screen too, everything but this chat box!!!

Usually in these situations I just hold the turn off button on my computer until everything goes black and then turn it on again, but I cannot do that at the moment as pictures are moving from the usb stick to my computer and my grandson David told me to not turn off the computer while this kind of stuff is in progress, could you please help me?! Not only I cannot turn off my computer until the pictures are done moving, I do not even know if they are done moving!!! I am at a total stalemate here!!!

No problem. to hear that you're experiencing this issue. It sounds like your computer may have encountered a problem with the operating system or with the graphics card. However, let's try some basic troubleshooting steps to see if we can fix the issue.

First, try pressing the F11 key on your keyboard. This should exit full-screen mode and restore the tabs, bar at the bottom, and buttons in the top-right corner of your screen.

If that doesn't work, try pressing the Ctrl+Shift+T keys together. This should reopen the tabs that were previously open.

If neither of these options work, try restarting your computer by pressing and holding the power button until the computer turns off, and then turning it back on again. However, if files are currently transferring from the USB stick to your computer, it's important to wait until the transfer is complete before restarting the computer. You can check the progress of the file transfer by looking at the file transfer window.

If none of these steps work, there may be a more serious issue with your computer, and you may need to seek the help of a computer technician.

God, I hope it's not something wrong physically with my computer, but I am having trouble following along with your first troubleshooting step as I don't believe I have a F11 key on my keyboard. I've looked and I can find the F and 1 keys separately.

Is there any other way I can make this smaller without closing everything what I have open or forcing my computer to restart? If I give you more information about the computer I am using, would you be able to give me more specific instructions?

I apologize for the confusion in my previous message. Not all keyboards have an F11 key, and there are other ways to resize windows without using that specific key.

To resize a window on your computer, you can click and drag the edges of the window. Move your mouse cursor to one of the edges of the window until it changes to a double-sided arrow. Click and hold the left mouse button, and then drag the edge of the window to make it smaller.

Alternatively, you can use keyboard shortcuts to resize windows on Windows 10. Press and hold the Windows key on your keyboard, and then press the left or right arrow key to move the window to the left or right side of the screen. You can then press the up or down arrow key to maximize or minimize the window.

If you're still having trouble resizing your window, please let me know what kind of computer you're using (e.g. Windows PC, Mac, etc.) and what operating system version you have, and I can provide more specific instructions.
