2. Increased efficiency:

Disadvantages:

1. Limited multitasking capabilities:

Constantly maximizing programs can limit multitasking capabilities because only one program can be in the foreground at a time.

2. Difficulty referencing other content:

When a program is open in full screen mode, it may be difficult to simultaneously access other content or information on the desktop without minimizing or closing the program.

3. Slower startup and higher resource consumption:

Opening programs in a maximized state can result in slower startup and higher resource consumption, especially if many programs are open in full screen mode at the same time.

4. Not suitable for all applications:

Not all programs are optimized for full screen mode or may not be able to display all functions or menus in full screen mode, which may result in a limited user experience.


It is important to weigh these pros and cons and make the decision about whether to always open programs in a maximized state based on the user's individual preferences and needs.
