By default, each update of "Windows" introduces its own standard window style. Some programs override these settings and alter controls like minimize or maximize, or restrict window size. Older games frequently require fullscreen mode. I'm wondering if anyone has discovered a method to make these problematic windows function properly. I'm willing to consider both first-party and third-party options. Microsoft's PowerToys include a "Crop And Lock" feature, though it removes the hidden area entirely. My previous attempts have not produced reliable outcomes, so I'm expecting limited success here. Any advice would be greatly valued.

My approach to running this specific classic in "Windowed" mode is to use a virtual machine!

It’s a good suggestion, though not a straightforward answer. I might even test it on the original system. Hmmmmm
