Menu
When building a universal application using Windows 10 (or Windows 8.1 WinRT), is it possible to force the application's main window to maximise on launch? This is obviously natural behaviour for the application when running on a mobile device but not when running on the desktop.
This is certainly possible using WinForms:
But I haven't so far managed to find anything in the Microsoft Documentation about this for Windows 10.

Press Win+Shift Key+M for maximizing them all. If you only want to minimize the current window, hold down Windows Key and press the down arrow key. If you want to maximize the same window, hold Windows Key and press up arrow key.
To maximize a window, grab the titlebar and drag it to the top of the screen, or just double-click the titlebar. To maximize a window using the keyboard, hold down the Super key and press ↑ , or press Alt + F10 .
An app can request to start as full screen by setting the ApplicationView.PreferredLaunchWindowingMode to ApplicationViewWindowingMode.FullScreen
