This should be something simple but I find with the various Microsoft 365 updates, the desktop apps sometimes just get really goofy in their behavior. This is a simple thing, hopefully. When I open Word, it pops up in a half-maximized state, with the Editor screen open, pushing my actual document even further out of view. All I want is for Office apps to always open maximized, every time.
To be clear, I never, ever, work on documents that are not maximized. No exceptions, it's just a habit, I always maximize every window I work in. So why must Word, Excel, etc., be so dumb about this? If I maximize a Word window, work on the file, and close it, at the very least it should remember my last view preference. But no, it just opens again in the non-maximized view. Been putting up with this for years, just kind of ready to smack something lol

Hi @ViProCon1035 ,
You can do this with editing for example your shortcut on your desktop.
That's an easy task, everything is explained here:

Thanks. Tired all those, no luck :) I notice that when i close Word, I see it go from Maximized, to that half-screen/partial view for the flash of a moment before disappearing. I'm sure there's a registry setting for this somewhere. Or some sort of Read-Only setting maybe om a default template file or some such, I don't know.
