Resizing VSTs so will fit computer screen

Hello. Can anyone give me advice on how to get resize the VSTs I use inside my Acid Music Studio 11? I have a laptop with a small screen and whenever I open a VST, it is too big to use. So big that I can't reach the bottom right corner in order to try and resize it down (I am able to shrink the actual DAW, but that does nothing to change the size of the VST).

 

Are there any ways of shrinking VSTs other than dragging the corner? I'm so frustrated. Thanks in advance!

@t-g6837 You can also try to shrink the window size by dragging the top left or right corner of the plugin window.

Hi

Check the Windows setting, System, Display, Scale and Layout setting is set to 100%.

John thanks for response - Yes i have set the display at 100%. I can resize the mixer window but the fx windows (all of them) are complete full screen. I am running VPX 13 in Windows 10. I am also on Samplitude pro x6 as well and all of those windows are completely sizable. The plugin windows take up the entire screen - i have tried to invoke resize from the menu in the upper left hand corner of the plugin window to no avail - they just wont resize. Thanks in advance for any more suggestions - Tim McAlpine
