How do I get excel to always open with a maximized window

For some reason, lately when excel starts, it starts with the window very
small. How do I set it to that all the windows open as maximized windows.

I think xl likes to "help" you by remember what you did last.

If the worksheet window was saved less than maximized, it'll open less than
maximized -- but only if you don't have the current worksheet window maximized.

I'd try creating a new workbook. Maximize every window that you want
maximized. Then close the workbook and excel.

(delete that test workbook when you're done.)

Hello,
In excel 2016, I have learned that by opening an excel spreadsheet (file) and then maximizing it, all excel files that you open afterwards will open maximized as well
Hope this helps and makes sense.

I've noticed lately that, though it does remember my window size the next time I open Excel, if I close it when it's maximized then reopen it, if I try to move it there is a blank page behind the document. If I close the blank page it closes that page and the page I opened. Also, if I try to move the maximized page to another screen Excel jumps around like it's a video problem. Hard to explain, but very strange.

OPen Excel, maximize the window, once full screen, close excel with pressing control key. next time it opens maximized window

With Windows 10, hold the Left Shift while Right-Clicking on the desired Closed App Icon.

It will take a few seconds for an extensive list of Options to appear if the App has enabled them.

The Last Option is Properties. You'll find "Run" there.
