    Try hitting the Windows + Down Arrow keys at the same time.

    It's keyboard shortcut for maximizing a window.

    Windows + Down Arrow unmaximizes a window.

    Hello Riptorn,

    You might see if will work properly after resetting all folder views back to default.

    Hope this helps,

    Option in Properties


    Have you set the "Run:" option in "Windows Explorer Properties"?

    Maximize folders-84723d1278911556-what-dont-you-like-about-windows-7-windows-explorer-properties.png

    I have set that option and my windows normally start "Maximized".
    However often after installing updates, my windows start opening in "Normal window" format.

    I need to maximize them and then click "Ctrl + Close button" to reset them.

    Are you running a System Cleaner?
    Some of them have a setting that cleans the window size/position setting.

    CCleaner for example:

    No problems


    No problems. :)

    Hopefully your windows will stay the size you want.
    As I mentioned, my windows often reset when I get updates.
