Is your program influenced by $CONSOLE:ONLY?
This is a PITA away from Windows, and I don't know anymore about CMD.EXE which at least on Windows7 I remembered its other-worldly behavior with maximizing its window. You might have to give up on this and try to use a QB64 SCREEN 0.
It might require calling a function from Win API or through Power Shell.
I was going to propose using _WIDTH and _HEIGHT for a short program while such a window is maximized, so you could check against that to try to detect if the window is maximized.
On Linux could use the following terminal command I recently learned:
to get the current number of rows and columns (in that order on the same line) of the terminal even if it were maximized (not full-screen mode which is without window decorations). Then it would have to be treated like SCREEN 0 and LOCATE positions.
