Selenium does not open windows as maximized

I need to open the maximized page, but selenium does not work. It just opens the page usually.

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options    
options = Options()
options.add_argument("--start-maximized")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'/Users/chromedriver', options=options)

And in C# it will be Driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();.

The -- shouldn't be there.
The correct syntax is:

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service

options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
webdriver_service = Service('C:\webdrivers\chromedriver.exe')

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, service=webdriver_service)

Per this post How to maximize chrome browser in default when using selenium in python you can try chrome_options.add_argument("--start-maximized") and depending on your version of chromedriver, it's worth reading through this post: How to maximize the browser window in Selenium WebDriver (Selenium 2) using C#?

driver.maximize_window() also seems to be an option to try.

You should try this options.add_argument("window-size=1920,1080")

Do you mean --start-fullscreen?
