Open the item you have shown. Hold down the Option key and whilst doing so, click on the green dot top left. This will adjust the page to fill the screen whilst keeping the Top Menu Bar and Dock in view.

If doesn't do this automatically, then, still holding the Option key down, drag the window to the size you want. After that, it should always open to that size.

I feel really embarrassed, Ron. What I described has always worked for me. I note that you had the Finder window open in your screenshot.

Well, I am forever altering the size of that window to suit various requirements and to get back to a screen that fits the Mac (- not Full Screen Mode which is when you click on the green button without holding down any key) - I just hold down the Option key which changes the "symbols" in the green button from 2 opposing arrowheads to a + and click on that.

Can't think why this doesn't work for you. Really sorry.

If it's only Finder that has the problem, you can Re-launch Finder.

Try this. Close Finder if open. Now Click on the Apple icon, far left Top Menu Bar, from the dropdown, choose Force Quit. From there, choose "Relaunch Finder".
