Chrome opens in a small window

Question

So I've just installed 1903 windows and everytime I open chrome from the desktop shortcut it opens in a small window, not maximized. Is there any way to fix this? Changing shortcut properties to start maximized doesn't work.

Answer 1

This worked for me:

1. Press Windows Key + I to open Settings then click System.
2. From the left-hand menu select Tablet mode.
3. select Use Desktop mode under “When I sign in.”
4. Reboot your PC to save changes.

The answer that worked for me is from here: https://support.google.com/chrome/forum/AAAAP1KN0B06t29f30M2XM/?hl=en&gpf=%23!msg%2Fchrome%2F6t29f30M2XM%2FxExvZjgmEgAJ&msgid=xExvZjgmEgAJ

Right click on the chrome icon on the desktop, left click on properties,

In the target box should be (assumes chrome on drive C:) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" <<< remove anything after the closing quote.

After the closing quote add one space then add --start-fullscreen

Now the target line should read "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --start-fullscreen

Click Apply and OK.

Restart Chrome and see if it launches in full screen mode.
