I have 3 TVs, all connected to one windows PC. I have 3 chrome pages open (One Chrome window per TV)  that I'd like to be open all the time until I turn the TV's off at night. If I turn them back on all 3 windows are 'stacked' onto one of the 3 TVs. Is there anyway to make it when I turn the TVs back on there they return to their previous tv. 

 
Thanks!

Does turning TVs off disconnect them from PC? That would be causing factor. I don't know direct solution, but you could look at multiple monitor managers (MultiMon, Actual Multiple Monitors, DisplayFusion) and see if they they offer such automation. Problem may be that having all windows originating from same Chrome install. So as worst solution you might need 3 browser installs.

What do you mean by disconnect them from the PC? The TV's do turn off, but when I turn them back on they all reconnect to the PC just all the chrome windows are moved to the default monitor (Which is what I'm trying to fix). 

 

The monitor managers didn't really look like they'd help with what I'm needing, but I think I will use DIsplayFushion anyway for the other features it has so thank you!

 

I did try install like Firefox and it just does the same thing as chrome and puts it on the default monitor.

If monitor is disconnected, all windows from it move to main and don't move back. Versus that it would only enter standby mode and remain connected.

With DisplayFusion you could create monitor profiles and set software to follow rules when profile is activated. I don't know if that would help or not.

OK I tried it on DisplayFushion, under  'Window Position Profile' , I have it open a new tab of chrome when i load it but how could I make it so it would load a specific website?  Yeah like I basically just use the remote to turn the TV off all the cables are still connected in.
