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 original tv. 

 

The PC itself runs 24/7, the tvs are always connected to the PC. 

I've tried other browsers and it does the same thing. 

I've tried DisplayFushion, and cant really get it to work. 

 
Thanks!

are they all hdmi or are you using vga?

if it's vga then the pc is detecting the signal loss on the monitor and assumes it was disconnected. if it's hdmi the computer might not notice the tv is off.

or if you are cutting the power to the tv's instead of turning them off then the pc might also think you unplugged them as well.

are you cutting the power due to them being in an unreachable spot like mounted up high?

I'm GUESSING the computer can tell the tv's are no longer active so it reverts to a single desktop and restacks your browser windows

a remote control to turn the tv's off proper might fix this.

Yeah I have a light switched hooked up to the outlet the TV's are running from to turn them off and on. Yea I did try the remote that does work so thank you so much for that! but I would still like to just have the ease of using that light switch but I understand if that is just not really possible.
