It seems Chrome isn't opening in full-screen mode by default, requiring you to click the maximize button. Let's explore some solutions to rectify this behavior.
Potential Solutions:
- Check Default Settings:
- Windows: Go to the address bar and type chrome://settings/ (without quotes). Navigate to "Appearance" and ensure "Open Chrome in a new window" is checked. If it's unchecked, select it.
- macOS: Go to "Chrome" in the menu bar, select "Preferences," and then navigate to "Appearance." Make sure "Open new windows in a new tab" is unchecked.
- Check Shortcuts:
- Ensure you're not accidentally pressing a keyboard shortcut that minimizes the window (e.g., Ctrl+M on Windows, Command+M on macOS).
- Verify Window State:
- Check if Chrome has a saved window size or position. If it's set to a smaller size, it might not be opening in full-screen mode by default.
- Try closing Chrome completely and reopening it to see if the default window size is restored.
- Check for Extensions:
- Some extensions can interfere with Chrome's default behavior. Try disabling extensions temporarily to see if the issue persists.
- Reset Chrome Settings:
- As a last resort, you can reset Chrome's settings to their default values. This will remove any customizations that might be causing the issue. However, be aware that this will also clear your browser history, bookmarks, and other saved data.
