Problem with Windows 11 not saving your "Maximize" settings
Problem with Windows 11 not saving your "Maximize" settings
I've observed an unusual behavior after reinstalling a new version of Windows 11. Many app windows I maximize tend to revert to windowed mode upon each launch, except for Windows-based programs like the Windows Photo app. This issue appears only with native OS applications that were pre-installed (all updated via Windows Update and the Microsoft Store). Could there be a setting I overlooked that would keep them in their current state? This wasn't an issue even on my previous system running Windows 11.
If the application is launched via a shortcut, you may right-click it and navigate to Properties, then select the Shortcut tab and adjust the Run dropdown to Maximised. You will need to locate the app's position on the drive. Can you tell me which app you wish to have opened maximized?
It just seems strange that every native Windows OS app I load, seems to wanted to always re-loaded in windowed mode. This is a fresh install, so not sure why this behavior is persisting. It was there from start and I can't change it.
For instance, the photos app isn't loaded from a shortcut, but rather whenever I double click any image file on my system. It will load it into the photos app, I maximized it. But when I close and re-open that specific image (or any image), it's right back to being windowed.
The more I read, I see others are having this issue (especially with Photos not maximizing) and it's a bug inherit in Windows (possibly from an update). Is there a work around or some way I can force specific programs to load maximized (even when Windows is buggy and won't do it automatically)? Or perhaps a registry edit that I can target just the Photos app (and force it into "
always maximized
" mode)?
