I use following cmd.reg to increase console size:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console]
; 0x28 X 0x78 = 40x120.
"WindowSize"=dword:280078

There is no way to run it maximized (or fullscreen). There is Alt + Enter to switch to fullscreen but Windows toolbar is hidden in in this mode...

I tested trick with:

"AutoRun"="mode 800"

and it works only for cmd and doesn't work for ubuntu / debian WSL.

It should be high demand on opening console maximized because now it capable to serve emacs / vim and ssh connections within WSL.
