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.

This worked for me:
- Press Windows Key + I to open Settings then click System.
- From the left-hand menu select Tablet mode.
- select Use Desktop mode under “When I sign in.”
- 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.
Follow these steps:
- Right-click on the shortcut you use for Chrome (whether that's in the taskbar, on the desktop or on your Start menu) and select Properties.
- Go to the Shortcut tab.
- Make sure that the Run option is set as 'Maximized'.
- Click OK.
