    All my applications opens in wrong monitor and doesn't remember the previous location


    I am using multiple monitors. Whenever I open an app it use to open in the location and the monitor that it was previously used on. But, after the recent windows update, all the application windows will open on the monitor that I designated as the main display. This also goes for any dropdown. If I open website open on a second monitor, the dropdowns show up on the main display, see screenshot below.Does anyone have any suggestions? I have the "remember window location based on monitor connection" selected in the display settings.

    :)

    applications do not remember previous save locations

    Hi Clifferton,

    Based on the details that you have provided, there is a way for you to determine whether the save location issue is program-related or due to the Windows 10 upgrade. To help you isolate it, we suggest testing other programs or apps and see if the previous
    save location shows when saving files. If the issue only happens with a specific program, then we encourage you contact the manufacturer for better guidance about their product.

    If the the issue also happens to other programs or apps, we would appreciate if you can provide us additional details to help us provide the appropriate solution: Kindly answer the following:

    • What build and version of Windows 10 are you using?
    • Aside from upgrading, have you also made any recent changes to your PC?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
    We hope to hear from you soon.

    Windows 11 - Applications do not remember last size/location/layout

    Is anyone else having this issue? I have to resize/re-snap almost every application everytime I open it as it does not remember the last closed size/location like the previous versions of Windows.

    The only option that I could find was enabling remember window locations based on monitor connection under System>Display but I only have 1 monitor
