Most Windows applications will open in the position and size it was when I last closed it. This includes the monitor it was on when I closed it. Microsoft Edge did this as well. Reliably. For years. Now, for reasons I don't understand MS Edge has…

Click to expand...
If you mean the Start menu then right-click its icon -> Open file location -> right-click the file-> Show more options -> Properties. Under "Run", select "Maximised", apply the change then exit. If you're running Edge from a Desktop shortcut then you'll need to omit the "Open file location" step.

See if Edge now opens full screen for you - it should.
