    To maximize a window in Windows, click the button with a square icon next to the close button in the upper-right corner of the window, or double-click the title bar. The maximized window should expand to fill the screen. Once the window is expanded, the maximize button may change to a restore button. If you click the restore button or double-click the title bar again, the window will change back to its previous size.
