Expected Behavior

No visual glitch, the whole window showing the background color (default or set using backgroundColor) until the content is loaded.

Actual Behavior

On Windows using the maximize method of BrowserWindow after opening the app's window causes a visual glitch until it loads the content.
This results in a bad user experience.
Tested on Windows 10 & 11 64-bit.
Also tested on Ubuntu 22.04 64-bit, it's good, no visual glitch.
Tried with default window width and height.

Method:
https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/browser-window#winmaximize

Code:

const win = new BrowserWindow();
win.maximize();

Workaround:
Don't show the window, maximize it, then show it:

const win = new BrowserWindow({show: false});
win.maximize();
win.show();

Or hide the window, then maximize it, then show it:

const win = new BrowserWindow();
win.hide();
win.maximize();
win.show();
