The post about maximizing windows reminds me of something else many blind people forget or don't know, which is that a screenless Windows computer will always default to a very low resolution (640X480). When an app or a webpage detects a lower resolution, it assumes there's less physical space available, so even a maximized window will lack the full-screen controls because it's trying to fit itself in a tiny rectangle of space. This also affects screen recording and sharing. A laptop with its lid closed counts as a screenless computer.
To check your display resolution on Windows, you can go to display settings. If the tab key never finds a setting to adjust display resolution, that means there's only one choice, which is often a sign that your resolution is locked to 480P. You can use screen reader review commands to check it. It's right after the "Scale" option.
I solve this by buying an "HDMI dummy plug", which is a tiny device that plugs into the HDMI port and pretends it's a real monitor. Many of them support more than one resolution--mine goes all the way to 4K, though that causes noticeable lag on older hardware so I always keep it at 1080P.
