How do I get ALL Windows to open Maximized

Answer the question...........

Why don't you answer the question????

Did you not understand the question?????

If you didn't understand the question, why didn't you ask for the writer to explain?

If there is no way to do what he asks, then say so.......

If there is just give up the information or put him with someone who can.

Do you look forward to more questions?

Really......so you can give totally worthless answers or no answers at all.

I hate people that respond that know nothing.

Please, just turn your computer off and go away...............

You are a time-suck, an internet-suck and a mind-suck................

THAT DOES NOT WORK!!!  I have 2 laptops. One running Win 7 and the other Win 8 and I have tried that on both computers numerous times and it does not work.  Neither does maximizing the window then shutting it down. 

I want every window on the machines to open up Maximized.  There has got to be a way to make this happen. 

Thanks

I'd like to do this too.  Back before Microsoft introduced Windows (in the mid 1980's?) I had an opportunity to use an Apple computer and I absolutely hated the window environment.  It feels like you're a peeping Tom, and that was back on tiny CGA monitors.  That's why I stuck with PCs and MS/DOS.

Now with today's monitors (mine's only 1920 x 1200) programs open in a tiny fraction of the screen.  You'd think the teen boys buying all the video-intensive games would be demanding this capability.  Oh wait, they have computers exclusively for games and they never turn them off.

Well anyway, I guess I could spend a few hours searching for all my *.lnk files and editing them individually, but you'd think it'd be a simple toggle on the settings menu.

If you're focused on productivity and using a lot of different programs - Word, Excel Peachtree Accounting, Lacerte tax preparation software, etc.  That extra time spent going up to the corner of each window to make it useful adds up in a work day.

I do like the stacked and side-by-side options when you right-click the taskbar, and then undoing it.  Unfortunately in Windows 10 that seems to have been mucked with.  Now, even if a window is minimized, the open windows resize as if that one was included in the action, so if you have two maximized windows and one down in the taskbar, the two each fill 1/3 of the screen.  And the Undo option is GONE!

When will Microsoft learn, if it ain't broke, don't fix it?  And if we ask for it, please try to give it to us.

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Communities. . I understand that you are unable to get all windows maximized.

I would suggest you that whichever shortcut you are using to launch the window, right click it and select properties. Under the 'Run' drop-down, choose "Maximized".

Looking forward for more questions
