Windows Central(@WindowsCentral):Windows 11 is about to get a small but seriously impactful upgrade for anyone using handheld gaming PCs or compact tablets. A new toggle found in preview builds lets you force apps to open maximized by default. No more tiny windows on tiny screens. Everything launches full screen, instantly making devices like the Surface Go or ROG Ally feel more comfortable and usable. It’s a thoughtful quality‑of‑life improvement that gives users more control and makes Windows 11 feel better tailored to modern form factors. Customization continues to be a big theme for Microsoft, and this feature is another step toward making Windows adapt to you, not the other way around. Excited to see this roll out more broadly soon.
