Issue: Whatsapp Desktop stucked in fullscreen mode
Update from Eugene from within the comments section: “What worked for me was to just press F11. I was then able to move and resize the window again.”
I was not able to resize the window of the WhatsApp Desktop application and even if i have uninstalled the app and install it back, the fullscreen persisted.
You can solve this by doing the following:
– Close Whatsapp and open the following file with notepad:
“C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\WhatsApp\settings.json”
– Change “isFullScreen”:true to “isFullScreen”:false
– When you now start Whatsapp it seems still maximized, but you can resize it again.
Hint: The workaround did not work for the WhatsApp Desktop version download via Microsoft store.

Thank you. This resolved same issue I was having.
Ha funcionado perfectamnte.
Gracias
is there a version of this workaround that works on a mac?
There are good chances that you will find the same ‘settings.json’ file somewhere in you home directory.
Try to find it, open it with a text-editor and have a look at it if you find the same settings in there.
Gracias, solucionado

Location of the .json file was here for me:

It worked. Many thanks.
This did not work for me, my settings file shows false and yet the window is still maximized…..
What worked for me was to just press F11. I was then able to move and resize the window again.
