Running Windows 10 latest version on 4k resolution monitor. The HT window now opens to cover the full screen plus - I'd guess I'd need a 40" monitor at least to see the whole thing. See attachment. I've tried disabling automatic scaling, everything is then tiny except HT! I've tried the PI Reinstall repair option - no go. Pretty much unusable at this point.
Also, the programs insists on opening in full screen mode, instead of full desktop, despite changing that a number of times
Should I do an uninstall and resinstall? This is the only misbehaving app

You could try reseting the PI from the start menu. This will bring PI back to the original settings as installed with having to go through all of the uninstall-reinstall. Here is a screen shot of what your looking for in Windows 10. I purposely made HT go beyond the PI borders, change the scaling to way off and increased the font resolution so PI was a mess. The reset brought everything back to normal. If fonts are too small then you can try increasing them in PI with the Font Resolution setting. I like mine small even though I have a 2K monitor.

Yay it worked! Plus I may have found the cause. I have a dual monitor system, once screen 4k the other 1920x1080. PI does not accurately rescale between screens. It gets bigger - too big - on the 1920x1080 monitor. Including the HT window. The problem is, the HTY window does NOT go back to the correct scaling when I move PI back to the Hi-Res screen! Looks like I'll need to stay on the Hi Res monitor unless/until this is resolved.
Thanks!!

Glad that worked for you :)
