Start-Process -WindowStyle Maximized doesn't maximize window












2















It seems that:



Start-Process -WindowStyle Maximized 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficerootOffice16ONENOTE.EXE'


starts OneNote in a window style regardless the parameter is Maximized or Minimized:




  • If the last time is normal or maximized, then it will open normal or maximized

  • If the last time is minimized, then it will open normal


Do you know why? I have version 6 on my Windows 7 32-bit machine.

    Unfortunately, there's no guarantee that the target program will honor the specified window style, and that is what seems to be happening here.

  • @OwainEsau thanks. Do you know why it works? I visit the registry and see the value is already 1, but the normal method still open it normal. And what about minimized?

    @OwainEsau I think you can make it as an answer. But yes, I think this only works for certain programs, because some don't have register keys

    @Ooker: I'm glad Owain came up with a solution. As for finding out in general whether a given application honors the requested window style: I don't think you'll find that documented, so trial & error is the only way to find out.

    @Ooker: As for why: It's helpful for applications to allow you to persistently configure the desired startup window state or to automatically restore the last session's window state. The problem is that the application itself won't know that an explicit startup window state was requested via Start-Process -WindowStyle, so it can't know when to override. In short: you need to use the respective app's custom mechanism, as in this case - unfortunately, there's no standardized way. Sadly, there are also apps that simply ignore the requested state, despite not offering a custom mechanism.

As mklement0 stated, there is no guarantee that the program will honour the requested window style.



You can in some cases get around this by editing a relevant registry key. In this case:



$registryPath = "HKCU:SoftwareMicrosoftOffice16.0OneNoteGeneral"; 

Set-ItemProperty -path $registryPath -name "WindowMode" -Value 1; 

Start-Process 'C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficerootOffice16ONENOTE.EXE'

Guerrino Boatto, Venice's St. Barnaba Church and canal Il fotorealismo è un genere di pittura basato sull'uso di una o più fotografie dalle quali l'artista prende le informazioni necessarie da utilizzare poi nel processo della creazione dell'opera, in genere ad olio o ad acrilico, al fine di avere un aspetto finale il più simile possibile alla fotografia.
