Hi,
All your experienced people out there.
need some help please ? I have windows 10. I mostly work with several windows open all at once as you might see in the image attached. I shut down my PC with all the windows maximized, but, In the morning when i start my computer, the windows (which i had left maximized are shortened as in the pict). On clicking on any window, what opens up is a small cut short window & is in the half way or left or on the right on the screen.
is there a way (on starting my PC) by which they can stay minimized or all maximized & pressing the buttons (when they are minimized) they should open maximized rather than be a small screen anywhere on the main screen ??? . i mean after i start my computer, then i have to manually maximize all the 12-15 minimized windows. I know "WIN KEY + M " will minimize all the windows and it works but what's the opposite of that ? ..how to maximize all the minimized windows at once ??? i have tried all the shortcuts on the pc keyboard but nothing ever works.
same with my mouse cursor. I have put the settings to disappear the cursor while typing, it nahhhhh, even that dont work. it still shows and i have to hand move the cursor.
Please advise ?
Kind Regards

you can ask a moderator (or whatever they are called these days!!) to move your post to the techie board
or you could cut & paste your existing question on that board and then delete most of this..Not sure how hard that it.
A lot easier than the question you are asking IMHO.Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

Hi,try this,to maximise the windows back, you will have to press Win+Shift+M.When in mouse settings, did you click Apply, then OK?

As a general rule if you manually resize the window and then close them, Windows should remember it for next time.For shortcuts on the desktop you can always right-click -> Properties and change the Run property:(you can do this for Start Menu items too, with one extra step)0
