To work with latest Chrome drivers 2.29 you need to maximize the window using Chrome Options class as follows:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe");
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("test-type");
options.addArguments("start-maximized");
options.addArguments("--enable-automation");
options.addArguments("test-type=browser");
options.addArguments("disable-infobars");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.navigate().to("http://gmail.com");

Let me know if this answers your Question.

Some times maximize window doesn't work with old version of web driver . So solution is to update the web driver and give the update driver path in program .

    I'm afraid this answer isn't substantially different from the accepted answer. Could you clarify how it is?
