I was unable to get the Preview to update from the Store but I manually updated it and suffered no crashes. Also it doesn't open in maximum mode but more like "medium" that can be resized or set the maximum mode.

There's no reason terminal would default to maximized mode. I think you've left out one or two of the steps in the description. Can you help clarify?

Are you in tablet mode? What sort of hardware are you using? Are you in power saver mode? Have you changed any terminal settings?

Unfortunately, your feedback item didn't include any crashes... which means that Terminal might be shutting down on its own (and not crashing!) ☹️

@DHowett there was a update in Microsoft Store, so as usual I update it. After updating when I was trying to open the app it was shutting down or get crash. Regarding to maximize mode I mis spell it. After this issue, I have uninstalled and install it multiple times but still same thing. Even I have tried preview app but still same problem. Then I installed it again and just restart my system. After restarting, its working fine now.

Huh, I hate it when that happens. Maybe the Store left some bad cache laying around that was fixed by a reboot. Since this isn't reproing anymore, I'm gonna close this one out. Thanks!
