    Windows will not stay maximized


    Windows is the most frustrating program on the planet! I have properly set ALL windows/files/documents to open as maximized. But guess what, good old Windows 11 has decided that it's just not gonna do that, and it's actually worse than before. At least in the past, sometimes the windows would open maximized. Now it's scroll and click, scroll and click.How do I get my programs to truly open maximized--browser windows, documents, irfanview, legacy family tree? The list goes on.

    :)

    Windows won't maximize

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    I understand the inconvenience that you are unable to maximize/minimize the programs in Windows 10, we will help you to resolve this issue.

    Kindly let us know with the following information:

    • Is this issue specific to any applications/programs?
    • Were you able to see the maximize, minimize and close icons?
    • Have you tried to perform these using different user account?

    This issue might be due to corrupted/ missing system files.

    I suggest you to run System File Checker and check if it helps:

    Method 1: Run the SFC.

    System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

    Follow the below steps:


    • Right click on the Start button, click on
      Command Prompt (Admin).

    • Type “sfc /scannow” without quotes and hit
      Enter.

    • After the scan, restart the computer.

    • Now check for the issue.

    Hope this information is helpful. Kindly update the status of the issue. We will be happy to assist you.
