When clicked on FC icon in system tray, the window gets restored but not maximized.

When the tray icon is clicked, the FC Windows is restored but not maximized : https: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VeVxLV ... sp=sharing
I'd think/request that the FC window should be maximized.

To understand this, here is the use case :
1. The file manager is one of the most used utilities and is used off and on.
2. So, it should be running as long as the system is on, and should be easily launched.
3. That is where the tray icon click, where it is toggled comes into play, which currently works OK.
4. Also, I've made it to auto start during boot and enabled the setting of "start minimized". So it is seen in the system tray when the system is booted.
5. However, when the tray icon is clicked, the window is restored but not maximized (as seen in the screenshot I've shared)
6. Since manipulating files requires lots of window place, I'd think, the FC window should be maximized when the tray icon is clicked.

Possible solutions :
1. When clicked on the system tray icon, show the FC window maximized OR
2. Add a another menu item to right-click of the system tray icon and "Show Maximized" and if clicked, then show FC window maximized.

Thank You

What is your program version?
Have you tried the portable version?
Normal use of any program "As Admin" is not recommended.
1. When clicked on the system tray icon, show the FC window maximized
It works already this way.

For me, the FC Window should come up in the size it was on last exit or minimizing to the task-bar.
If I set FC to maximized, it starts maximized on next start-up or click on its tray icon.
