Recently I have upgraded my OS to windows 10(64-bit). I have an LG 34” curved wide screen monitor. My HP MediaSmart Photo Editor always opens in maximize mode, occupies the entire monitor screen and no minimize, maximize or close buttons are available that the cursor can access. I tried several widows keyboard short cuts also with no result.
Please troubleshoot.!
Thank you,
Gopal

HP MediaSmart Photo Editor is old software - it is not intended for use in Windows 10.

You will likely have to "move on" to a supported software / application.
There are options that range from the simple (Windows Photos which comes with Windows 10 or can be downloaded from the Microsoft Store) to the more complete photo viewing / editing software (free) Irfanview (Example / details on request).

You are welcome.
MediaSmart software was nice software as I recall.
It was missed (and likely is still missed) by those who used and loved it.
Just in case you decide to take a look...
This is not "plug and play" software... it is, however, quite brilliant for free software and does quite a bit for those able / willing to take the time to learn its secrets.
Irfanview provides an exceptional software experience that can be used for a variety of scan and print tasks, including the “Mirror” or horizontal flip function plus several other options not found elsewhere.

How to find Help within the Irfanview software
Once installed, open the software > tab Help
Example help entry:
Vertical/Horizontal Flip
- Click on the Image Menu, then Vertical Flip. The image will turn upside-down. The left/right orientation will stay the same.
- Click on the Image Menu, then Horizontal Flip. The image will turn side-to-side, as in a mirror.
Note: The effect can be used on a smaller portion (rectangle selection) of an image, as well as the entire image.
