The setting applies when you open the project from the main window or the system tray.

The project card shows a Windowed status chip while the option is enabled.

Godot 4.4 and later can remember the editor window state. Leave Use windowed mode off when you want Godot to restore that state. Enable it when you always want this project to open in a regular window.
