Hello

 

So this is a tedious issue but when i boot up my pc i would really like if my programs I use every time im on it would load into the same position I left them in if you know what I mean, instead of me having to drag windows around every time i boot up. I've tried to google it but that was no help i'll attach a pic for an example. I would just love if I booted and my windows just loaded as I have them now.

 

Thanks

You probably need to buy 3rd party software for that. There are several window/desktop managers which should be able to set rules per software. The drawback being that they only work with one instance of a software at the time. This is why I use two different browsers, one for main monitor and one for secondary. For example DisplayFusion can do this.
