    I'd never been all that keen on installing a piece of software just to tweak one single setting but having said that, it does the job and much more besides.

    However, I've finally stumbled across a registry tweak that does the job which, IMO, is a better way of achieving the same thing:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics\

    - Right-click on "PaddedBorderWidth"

    - Click "Modify"

    - Change the default "Value data" from -60 to -20

    - REBOOT Windows

    This works a treat on my Win11(22H2)(64-Bit) install but whether it works on older versions of Win11 or on Win10, I really cannot say.

    Regards,
    Martin

    Hmmm.. this isn't loading properly anymore. Same behaviour
    for you?
