But If I maximize the program window before minimizing to the taskbar, then the program might fail to restore when clicking on the programs icon in the taskbar!? So it appears there is still an issue with restoration with this (and some other programs) from the taskbar! Currently looking into this issue further.

Understanding the Context

1 To maximize a window, drag the title bar up to the top of the display until you see the transparent fill screen animation in the background, and release to maximize the window. 2 To restore a maximized window, drag the title bar down until the window shrinks, and release to restore the window. Power plans can help you save energy, maximize system performance, or achieve a balance between the two. Selecting to use the Balanced or Power saver power plan can help extend your PC's battery life.

Key Insights

Balanced - Offers full performance when you need it and saves power when you don't. This is the best power plan for most people. And there is nothing that I can to to maximize to full screen. This happens with any new or saved .doc or .docx files. PDFs and Excel files open fine with no problems I tried to repair Word from the install disk, and even uninstalled then reinstalled the whole Office suite, but nothing has worked to solve this problem.

Final Thoughts

This will not affect the ability of users to maximize the Microsoft Edge window. Opening Microsoft Edge in kiosk mode using the command line is unavailable when full screen mode is disabled. When I open a specific program (Protools, an audio editing program) something forces the program into a minimized window: You can see the top right of the program window shows the minimize window option, as if the computer currently thinks it is maximized
