Apologies if I'm misremembering, but I think you're in Windows. (The
rationale for making _any_ window non-resizable escapes me, yet Windows
itself contains many such.) In Windows, it's up to the programmer to
make a window resizable or not. If the programmer makes it
non-resizable, as far as I know there's no way for the user to override
that.

Two settings are relevant: resolution and scale. In Windows 10,
right-click an empty area of your desktop and select Display Settings.
In the dialog that opens, change the setting in the drop-down list under
"Scale and layout / Change the size of text, apps, and other items". You
may find that changing that setting makes your 1920×1080 display
readable. (Already-open windows may or may not resize themselves, but
any new windows should display in the desired scale.)

In other versions of Windows the same setting exists, but you may have
to get to it in a different way are different.
