How to Make Videos Play in Full Screen by Default

To start, open the Movies & TV app on your Windows 10 PC. Do this by opening the “Start” menu, searching for “Movies & TV”, and clicking it in the search results.

Note: In our example, the app is called Films & TV. But the instructions remain the same for Movies & TV.

In the Movies & TV app, at the top-right corner, click the three dots.

From the three-dots menu, select “Settings.”

You’re now on your app’s settings page. Here, in the “Playback” section, toggle on the “Always Start Videos in Full Screen” option.

And you’re all set. Any video that you open with the Movies & TV app will play full-screen by default. Very useful!
