I am noticing that some programs which have columns (for one to scroll up/down), have narrowed. First I thought it was part of Windows 11, since one program I use in 10 and 11, is unaffected in 10. But I recently noticed that it is happening to programs running in 10 and 11. Has anyone else noticed this and is there a fix? Program updates can be good and bad, Mindblower!

Hi MB!
Do you know how to change column widths with your mouse?

Yes Richard. There is a new program update to the Patch-my-Computer program. This is where I noticed the narrower column on the Windows 10 computer. Am I missing some information on widening the columns with the mouse? Normally I just expand the columns with the mouse, Mindblower!

You can grab and drag or double-click them to make the column as wide as the widest entry in that column.
So, are you saying that doesn't work in the new Windows 11 programs?

Well Richard, see this narrow column width now occurring in both 10 and 11, Mindblower!

Sure thing Richard. Hope you can see the screen shot properly. The slide bar is to the right. If not you can d/l and install the program and see it in action for yourself, Mindblower!
