AutoCAD 2018.1.2 - Window over the windows task bar and Layout tab question

Hello I have a 2 part question and according to this image. https://imgur.com/oCrr2eO Question #1, when I open a new drawing, the AutoCAD window is maximized over over the windows task bar.. it's full screen. I work in SDI 1 mode 90% of the time, multi windows. Is there a way to prevent AutoCAD from opening drawing in full screen? Question #2, I just noticed after the 2018.1.2 update that there is a change in the layout bar (mine is at the bottom and I don't remember how I took it from top to bottom unfortunately). The layout tabs are on the same line as the other options: Paper, Osnap, lock the viewport, etc, all in the same line, probably to save vertical screen space? Is there a way to separate the layout tabs from the option buttons on 2 different lines again? so they can spread along the whole length of the screen? (The layout tabs) Thanks

I'm not sure on the first, my suggestion would be to manually scale it down, and not maximize, then close out, and open it back up, it should then hold the size, maximize it, and close out again, and see if it remembers that state

For 2, you can right click on a layout tab and tell it to dock the tabs above the statusbar

chriscowgill7373 Thanks both solutions worked actually, by reducing the size of the AutoCAD windows, saving and closing.. now at startup, they are no longer over the task bar.. great news, I am glad for that one. And I did not remember that the layout tab could be undocked. I knew it and I forgot apparently. ((; It's getting better with AutoCAD 2018. Thanks again.
