I always exit Visual Studio when its main window is at a certain area on the screen. But when it starts up, its window is always maximized. If I click the maximize button, it is restored to the size I left it in previous session.

It is bothersome to do this at every program start-up. It covers the area of the screen which it isn't supposed to; making other tools working on that area stay behind. And what makes it even more cumbersome is the bulky and slow start of Visual Studio.

Is there any way of setting the start up window size and position? It is like, in somewhere an option "Start main window maximized" is checked, but I can't find such a thing under Tools > Options. Visual Studio 2010 did do this behavior.

  • How are you launching Visual Studio? Are there any arguments on the shortcut you are using? – ChrisF Mar 11 '13 at 12:47
  • @ChrisF I'm launching it with a shortcut. In the properties of that shortcut, under the "Shurtcut" tab, "Run:" is set to "Normal window". – hkBattousai Mar 11 '13 at 12:50
  • Have you checked if there is anything relevant in the "CurrentSettings.vssettings" file in "C:\Users\currentUser\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Settings"? – Roger Rowland Mar 11 '13 at 12:52
  • Oddly I have the opposite problem, it never opens maximized or snapped-to-half-screen even if that was its last state. – Dax Fohl Jun 19 '15 at 19:24
