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

AK

Why?.....

 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.

Hi,

just before this gets drawn out, I think you mean thread, a tread is what you get on a tyre.

To find your thread later, just click bookmark icon it at top right of message, it'll turn red,

then when you come back later click Bookmarks next to Profile at top right of forum,

You can save any thread this way.

OP

The good news is that your thread has been moved to the techie board so you should get advice on your PC problem.

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?

Neil_Jones

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)
