    Can relative positions of two monitors be changed numerically?


    I have a two-monitor Windows 10 v. 2004 system. Settings > Display shows the monitors as two icons that I can drag & drop to adjust their relative position. I have several macros that move the mouse to specific screen locations. For whatever reason (crashes, etc.) the relative positions of the monitors can change. I can readily drag & drop the icons, but I can't reset them to the exact position they were in before - dragging & dropping is just too crude. Is there some way of specifying the relative positions numerically?

    :)

    Accurate positioning of second screen relative to the first.

    I need to position a second monitor accurately relative to the first. Specifically I need to arrange the first display in landscape more, the second display in portrait mode, and the with both displays having the first (ie. bottom) row of pixels (ie.
    row 1) being the same row. When I position the displays using the graphical "Select and Arrange Displays" in Win10 Settings, I find that the bottom row of pixels for the two display can range between + and -30 pixels. Is there a command line method of arranging
    and positioning the displays accurately?

    Change Dual Monitor Positions

    I am trying to adjust the positions of my two monitors so that they perfectly line up together. The second monitor is just slightly lower than the other but the position readjustment tool with the graphical interface just isn't cutting it to get it just
    right. Is there any way that I can get to a more precise tool that allows me to adjust it precisely with perhaps numbers?

    Fine-tune the position of multiple displays relative to each other

    I have two monitors with different resolutions. One has a vertical resolution of 1080, the other of 1200. In the display settings, I can adjust their relative position towards one another. The problem is that this position snaps into place when the upper
    or lower borders of both displays are close to each other.

    This means I can't center the display with the smaller resolution. It always snaps to the top or bottom of the larger display. This doesn't match the physical position of my monitors though. Is there any way I can fine-tune this or turn off the automatic
    alignment? (PS: I use Windows 10 Home 64 Bit, but to my knowledge the problem exists in all Win10 versions),
