Hi,

I'd appreciate your help.

The following issue was happening with Xara v16.2/v17.1, then I installed the trial of Xara+ (v21.5), and it's there as well.

When Xara is closed, and from the Windows Explorer context menu I choose to open a file with it, the first time Xara runs, its window is maximized, becoming the application seen on the screen.

However, once Xara is already opened, the next file I "open with", Xara's window is not maximized anymore.
Even when working with files Xara is set to open as the default application, Xara's window is not maximized anymore.
The files will load in Xara, which just blinks on the Windows taskbar.
Then I need to manually click on Xara's icon on the taskbar to maximize the application.

There is a unique condition that makes Xara works as expected though (maximize window always a file is opened with it).
If the last time Xara was opened I EXPLICITLY click on the minimize window, the next time a file is opened with it the window is maximized always.

I tried to run Xara as administrator, but it didn't fix the issue.

Does anyone know how to fix this behavior?

Thank you,
Carlos
