For the first ten years I used Quicken, the column widths have always automatically adjusted any time I clicked the Windows "Minimize" or "Restore" (un-minimize) icons. Suddenly as of March 2023, the column widths of all my registers are now either way too wide to to see all the columns, or way too narrow to use all the available space. It is extremely obnoxious to have to adjust every single column, in every single register, every single time you Maximize/Restore Quicken. Did something change in a recent update?
I would like to see a button to auto-adjust columns, similar to MS Excel. There you simply double click the end of the field after selecting all fields. In Quicken I could imagine a button would work best given the current state of the user interface.

Eventually I figured out how to get the columns in a register to automatically adjust to exactly the space available at any given time. Go to the register settings (the gear icon in the top-right), then Register columns (NOT Register peferences), then at the bottom-left of the menu that opens there is another gear icon, then "Reset to default columns." It only took me 8 months (and trying many times) to figure that out, so I hope this helps others.
Thank you stevewaters100!! Your 8 months of work did help this user!!!
