My screen is minimized when I turn it on.

My computer has been rebooted and ready for the next user to enter their information. But when I turn it on during setup, the entire screen is minimized and I can’t figure out how to make it full screen in order to complete the setup (screen name, location, passcode, passcode question, etc.) Please help

Hi@123tasheba, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

A really great platform for posting all your questions and finding solutions.

I understand that the minimized Tab is not opening when you move the cursor to the small box

I could help.

Are you experiencing this issue with all the minimized App / Windows or only a particular minimized window?

Also, may I know when are you facing this issue?

Meantime please try a System Restore to an earlier time before the issue started 

- Shut down the computer completely.
- Turn on the computer and repeatedly press the F11 key, about once every second, until you see the Windows loading screen.
- If a language selection screen opens, select the language you want to use to continue.
- On the Choose your keyboard layout screen, select the keyboard layout that matches your keyboard type.
- On the Choose an option screen, click Troubleshoot.
- On the Troubleshoot screen, click Advanced Options.
- On the Advanced options screen, click System Restore.
- Click Windows 10 as the target operating system.
- The System Restore window opens. Click Next.
- Click the restore point that you want to use, and then click Next.
- The Confirm Restore Point window opens.
-Click Finish to restore your computer to a previous point.
- Do not interrupt System Restore when it starts. Doing so can corrupt your hard drive and create more problems. Click Yes in the warning that appears.
- System Restore returns the computer configuration to a previous point in time and restarts.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
