Hey there! My question is, how do I open apps in fullscreen mode immediately?

If you quit them while in Full Screen, they should open back up in Full Screen.

That may depend on what you have set for closing windows when you quit apps in General System Preferences.

It may also depend on the App. The app should restore windows to how they were set when quit, but that may be controlled at the app level.

Some developers seem to want to "roll their own" UI (Microsoft, Adobe), so they may not perform as expected. Office does not resume.
