    Windows resetting the size, shape and location of program windows


    Windows seems to forget the size and shape and location of my open windows. They change every time I leave the computer or shut down and then restart. It didn't use to do this. A window remained the size I set. This is the third time I have asked for help on this. The one answer I got seemed to work until the next time I started the computer, then it reverted to the default program windows all stacked in one corner of the screen.

    :)

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

    Window Size for GPU-Z

    I don't know if anyone has suggested this before, but it would be rather convenient to add adjusting the size of the GPU-Z window. It would be especially convenient for viewing the whole sensors tab and taking screenshots of it.
