Application Windows Move after unlocking

TheTwist · December 19, 2019

When I lock my laptop and then unlock it again. All my program windows are not in the same place on my monitors. Is there a way to fix this so they stay in the same place?

I have a Dell Latitude 3570 laptop running Windows 10 (1909) connected to 2 monitors. 1 connected to VGA and the other connected to HDMI.

Yeah I have this too sometimes, usually windows will stay in the same position even after restart, but sometimes windows decides that's not ok and randomly puts the windows elsewhere on my screen... I haven't found a way to prevent this or the horrible snap "feature" ...

XP and Vista had this down to a T (also with 3D slide option yay) but since then it's all a buggy mess with Windows and "windows".

PS: in your case it's the second monitor, I'm sure, don't know if there's a fix though (doubt it) sorry.
