Start windows 8.1 Store App in Windows 10 in full screen

Question

Is it possible to force a Windows 8.1 Store App start in full screen on Windows 10 as it did on Windows 8? I tried it for days but I can't find a solution.

It works for Universal Apps, but not for a Windows 8.1 App :-/ Maybe I should try to convert my App to an Universal App. — Templar_VII, Aug 22 '15 at 17:02

I guess, you can use WindowState="Maximized".

Here is the example of the code:

<Window x:Class="HTA.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525"
WindowStyle="None" ResizeMode="NoResize"  
WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen" WindowState="Maximized">

Many thanks for your fast help. But my solution is not of type Classic Windows WPF Application. It is a Windows 8.1 Store App. So my main windows is not of type "Window", it is of type "Page". – Templar_VII Aug 22 '15 at 15:06

If you create universal window application, use this code:

using Windows.UI.ViewManagement;

namespace yourNameSpace
{
    sealed partial class App : Application
    {
        public App()
        {
            this.InitializeComponent();

            ApplicationView.PreferredLaunchWindowingMode = ApplicationViewWindowingMode.FullScreen;
        }
    }
}

Look at here for detail information about ApplicationView.PreferredLaunchWindowingMode.
