I have the problem where the game will start in a smaller not maximize window, then when I got to maximize it the game with either not finish loading or give me a error message says that there might not be enough video memory for the sprites.

What version of RivaTuner Statistics Server do you have? Do you have the issue even if you disable RTSS for Factorio?

You might need to update or downgrade RTTS depending on version you use.
It inserts itself between a game and DirectX and if there is a bug in it, it can cause graphical issues or crashes.
