Many applications can run in multiple windowed modes. This includes compact windowed mode with support for window resizing, full screen mode, and full screen mode. As a rule, it is more convenient to watch movies and play games in full screen mode, work with documents in full screen mode, and small applications are more convenient to launch in windowed mode with the ability to resize the window. The transition from one type of program interface display to another differs in different types of applications.

Instructions
Step 1
To switch to windowed mode in a game application, you must visit the game settings. In the graphics settings, find the item "Display in window" or "Windowed mode". Not all games have this ability. In browser games, the transition from full-screen mode to windowed mode is most often done with the Esc key.
Step 2
To switch to windowed mode from full screen when watching a video in a multimedia player, you must press the desired key combination (most often it is either Enter, or CTRL + Enter, or ALT + Enter, or CTRL + F). You can change this keyboard shortcut in the player settings. To do this, in the "Settings" - "Configuration" - "Keyboard" menu item, find the "full screen mode" function and change the keyboard shortcut to one that is convenient for you, do it so that your combination does not repeat with the existing ones.
Step 3
For everyday applications, the most common modes are full screen mode and windowed mode with adjustable window size. To switch from mode to mode, use the button in the right corner of the window - the middle of the three (the other two are "minimize the window" and "close the window"). Switch the application to windowed mode by clicking this button and resize the window. To do this, move the mouse pointer to the right border of the window and change the width, and to change the height, drag the bottom edge of the window in the same way.
Step 4
If you often use a program or file, you can configure windowed mode to run these objects all the time. To enable and select windowed mode for an application, game or any file, create (if you do not already have it) a shortcut to launch this object on the desktop. Right-click on the shortcut to the program or file and select Properties.
Step 5
Click on the "Window" tab. At the bottom of the dialog box, find the Window value selection box. Set the desired window size - "Normal size", "Minimized to icon" or "Maximized to full screen". Confirm the changes by clicking the "Apply" button. Now, when launched with a shortcut, the window will open only the selected size.
