Is there any way to force Windows to open ANY new window maximized? I have been maximizing file explorer windows every time I open a new one and every single time it does NOT remember that I want my windows to open maximized. Same with other Microsoft stuff.

I'd be glad even if there was some registry setting to change

Maximize Always tool​

That may be of help as it's configurable

Not that I'm aware of

This method works only for applications for which you can create a shortcut.

• Find the program in the Start
• Right-click on it > More > Open File location
• Once you find it, right-click on it, and select Send To > Desktop (Create Shortcut)
• Now right-click on it, select properties.
• Under the Shortcut tab, click on the dropdown next to the Run section in the Properties window.
• Select Maximised and then apply the changes.
