I've examined an official app that has disabled the maximize button, rendering it non-clickable. This prevents users from maximizing the app through the button. If it's feasible, could you please provide the corresponding code for achieving this?

2023-10-16T07:00:09.7366667+00:00 UWP API can't do that. The App you mentioned seems to be a normal desktop app not a UWP app. It's packaged as .exe which UWP app can't be packaged like that.

2023-09-21T08:35:15.1833333+00:00 Currently, there is no API in UWP that could remove the minimize and maximize buttons. These buttons are managed at the system level.
