Windows 10: win.explorer and other open windows change size when exiting fullscreen applications,and I...

Hi.

When I close apps running in fullscreen-mode (youtube,most games...),all other open applications change their size and move to the upper left corner of the screen.

It doesnt always happen but usually when running fullscreen apps in a different resolution than the native 1440p.But sometimes even then.


I would really appreciate if I could mitigate this in some way.I dont think it was as bad before.


Thanks.

:)

 

Is there anyway to open fullscreen windows by default?


Right click the application shortcut, select Properties. Select the Shortcut tab and choose how you want to open the application:

• Normal window = Opens the application window in same size it was when last time closed, full screen only if the application was last closed when full screen
• Minimized = Opens the application but minimizes it to taskbar without showing the application window on desktop
• Maximized = Opens the application window always maximized, regardless if it was windowed or full screen when last time closed

 

Is there anyway to open fullscreen windows by default?

Kari - Do you have to do that for every shortcut? I did it and most of my windows still aren't opening as Maximized... *Sad

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
