The problem still exists in version 3.10.1, in Windows.

When the user wants to get the documentation, the whole screen is hidden by it, which is very inconvenient.

If the user does not want this behaviour, they have to change the shortcut, for instance in:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Python 3.10

This is not possible if the user doesn't have the admin rights.

There is no reason to force a maximized window for the documentation, but there are reasons not to: it's invasive, now monitors are often too large to make it a comfortable reading format for a single window, the OS is multi-tasking and the user will most likely read the documentation while editing code on an IDE and needs to see both.
