    Open a PDF viewer in windowed mode (NOT maximized, NOT minimized)


    I am trying to force a PDF viewer (Bluebeam Revu) to always open in windowed mode, not full screen (maximized) and not minimized. Even for normal programs I see no way to do this, but for a PDF viewer where I open it 100% of the time by clicking on all these different individual PDFs, I really am not sure how I would go about forcing it to always open in windowed mode.

    To further complicate the issue, if I make a shortcut to a pdf (for testing purpose only, only "Shortcuts" have the following options) and set it to always open minimized or maximized, nothing changes; it will always only open the same way that it had been closed (windowed or maximized) and none of the options changes that.


    If you have any suggestions that would be great, because right now half the time I need to window mode the PDF, close it and re open it so that it starts windowed (I do use full screen most of the time, but there is a bug that can't allow it to _start_ full screen, hence the problem).


    Thanks!

    :)

    Some issues with minimizing and maximizing games


    Im trying the focus assist option right now, i will get back with the results.

    Alright, so turning focus assist off seems to have reduced the time it takes for my games to minimize and maximize, but i still get the annoying messagebox in the top left corner of the screen. I would also like if all my games would minimize and maximize instantly, but its a step in the right direction.

    Also, my games are running in exclusive fullscreen mode.

  3. How to stop Windows 10 from opening my email in minimized mode

    When I try to open a desktop icon such as Outlook (my email), it opens in minimized mode, requiring me to click to the maximized mode. I looked online and several places suggested tinkering with the Properties tab, but I checked and it is set to Normal
    mode, not minimized. Also, this problem sometimes fixes itself, and opens in full-screen mode, but then the minimized mode comes back. I have Windows 10 and a Dell laptop.
