Don't maximise it then! The windows version is not designed to work on windows, it's just the source code compilied that happens to work most of the time. There's a tonne of windows features that are simply not supported in any way by the caustic code, maximise is probably one of them. You can resize the window without it causing a problem. Personally I like to make the window tall and thin as it means you can work more machines at the same time without it looking like dupelo.
While it won't solve this riddle, I notice that Caustic 3.2 happens to maximize fine on all three of my Windows computers, so there is more to this than "maximize doesn't work on Windows". I use a custom skin (Echo) but I doubt that matters.
For what it's worth, one has a Core i9-12900 and runs Windows 10 Home 21H2, one has a Core i7-6700HQ and runs Windows 10 Pro 21H2, while the third has a Core i7-1280P and runs Windows 11 Home 21H2 (haven't updated to 22H2 yet - just lazy). The latter is a 2-in-1 with a 16:10 touchscreen, which happens to fit one Caustic machine very nicely in landscape mode, for finger friendly fun.
If I fold away the keyboard and turn it to portrait mode, Caustic neatly redraws itself, so when stars, chips and drivers happens to align, it's smooth. Mmm, chips...
i also have a celeron, however i have recently got a new, better laptop. i never had this problem as well. not on my windows 8.0, windows 10, or windows 11 laptops.
Here's what I got when I tried to maximize the app.
Maybe it has to do something with the slow computer.
RHOMBUS ARE AWESOME!

I have a Crappy Computer, using a celeron proscessor and caustic works fine
sometimes, caustic does not open, but i just reopen it, tricky stuff i think
i also have a celeron, however i have recently got a new, better laptop. i never had this problem as well. not on my windows 8.0, windows 10, or windows 11 laptops.
Ive also ran caustic on popOS and it fullscreens just fine.
