Hi. As the title implies, issue #5074 about saving window position on Windows 11 25h2 was not solved with the latest rc1 (weekly snapshot). Tried it today and the issue is more or less the same, at least for me. It will not save the maximized window state on next launch, not with the old save button nor with immediate save selected. The window shifts slightly left and up and the "maximized" icon on the upper right of the window has reverted to a "normal" resizable window icon. This with an ordinary 16:10, 1920x1200 HD display of an HP laptop. While I opened the ticket because of how weird it was on a 4k display, where only the hack provided by 10110111 saved the day, I find that window behavior on Windows systems is still not what it should be. Sure, one can live with it, but it is not solved.

Tried Kstars today, just to see how it handles this question on Windows systems. Well, it's perfect. If you click the "maximize" button once, it will remember this selection on next launch, which is indicated by the "maximize" icon.

I will try it with my 4k monitor next.
