Description
Description
If you close RetroArch using the Windows taskbar preview thing, the window size is incredibly small on next opening. I'm guessing it's a conflict with the "Remember Window Position and Size" option and the preview closing.
Expected behavior
Keep the "true" window size.
Actual behavior
Change width and height to a super small value.
Steps to reproduce the bug
- Open RA in window mode.
- Turn ON "Remember Window Position and Size".
- Reduce RA in taskbar.
- Close RA from the preview in the taskbar.
- Restart RA.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on Windows 10 using the listed RetroArch 1.8.5 steps, with “Remember Window Position and Size” enabled and the application closed from the taskbar preview. Trace the window-size persistence during that close path; done means reopening RetroArch preserves the true window width and height instead of restoring a very small size.
