Always launch MPC-BE x64 maximised?

[tbcam88]

Whenever I launch MPC-BE x64 the window size reverts to small and I have to manually maximise each time. Is there a way to ensure the app launches full size each time? I'm using Win 10 Pro. Thanks.

Options -> Player (1st page in options) -> History -> Check both checkboxes:
- Remember last window position
- Remember last window size
Then Maximize and close MPC-BE
Next time MPC-BE is maximised by default when MPC-BE is launched.

You can also ask in official thread, more users are active there:

Can't believe I missed that - thanks!

I'm not sure about MPC-BE but in MPC-HC you can also create a shortcut to it, using the /fullscreen argument. That fixes the fact that, from time to time, you might need to reduce the player to a window. And if you then close it like that... next time it's going to open as a window. With the shortcut you are sure it will *always* launch full screen.

Edit: rethinking about that, if I understand your use case, the above wouldn't apply, as it needs a video file to open. And I don't know how one could apply the argument on a "normal" double click to open action. So the previous suggestion is probably the correct one.

Edit 2: there's an even easier way, I guess. Options/Video/Fullscreen/Launch files in fullscreen.

Fullscreen is not maximised. Two different things.

Yeah, ok. I guess in my mind the concept of watching a video in "maximised" position instead of fullscreen does not compute.
