How to stop the desktop client opening in full screen?

Question

Hey, I was wondering if there is a registry key to stop the M-Files desktop client from opening in full screen? 
 I have an ultra-wide monitor and every time I access a vault M-Files opens the vault in full screen, rather than maintaining the current size of the explorer window I already have open. 
 I'm running windows 11 - if that makes a difference. 
 
 thanks

The registry settings is: 
 Key: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Motive\M-Files\<M-FilesVersion>\Client\MFShell\NonVaultSpecifics 
 Value: MaximizeWindow REGDWORD - insert value 0

There is a registry setting that can be used to control this. If you open a support ticket then they'll be able to guide you through it.
