Cannot resize windows on remote desktop

I just thought you might like to know that using TV12 on two Win 10 systems, the window resize facility on a window on the remote desktop doesn't work because the little resize arrows do not appear when you hover the mouse over an edge or a corner.

This problem is cured by plugging a mouse into the remote system.

Of course, I found this the hard way !.

Thanks for the solution which works perfectly. Shame this is still an issue in 2021, version 15.19.5

The fix proposed by Mrorpheus worked for me with one modification:

Navigate to Settings => Ease of Access => Interaction => Mouse

... and enable "Turn on Mouse Keys to use the numeric keypad to move the mouse pointer".

In my case, I had to leave it enabled rather than toggle it as proposed by Mrorpheus. But that worked.

The two fixes mentioned also fix the issue of the taskbar not showing, if you are using auto-hide.

That did the trick! Thank you!

Yep! That's the cure sadly....
