I tried this method, where i put application name between "" and it doesn't worked even on notepad...

Than i tried bat file
start /f "applicationname.exe" exit/b
And it said that /f is invalid switcher.

I haven't found a way to do this with standard Windows commands, whether with CMD, VBS or PS scripts. What does work is the (freeware) extended CMD replacement TCC-LE, which has many enhancements, including the /fs option to the start command. Note that if an application needs quoting then it must be preceded by a quoted window title (which can be an empty string), eg start "" "Application Name.exe" - this applies to both CMD and TCC-LE.

In general you can't, as not all applications actually have (support) a full screen mode, and those that do have different command line switches to do so. – DavidPostill – 2018-09-27T20:42:12.000

If there is really no way to implement the full screen of application through these files, you can try to change the registry. – S.Leon – 2018-09-28T09:57:42.600

Afternoon,

You can use the following to start an application in full screen:

Inside a batch-file put the following, replace notepad.exe with the application.

start /max notepad.exe

I am unsure if this will be applicable to all applications but I have tested with notepad and MS Word.

This starts an application maximised, not full-screen, as the questioner wants. – AFH – 2018-09-27T13:28:16.280
