  2. Windows 10 apps do not remember size and position on relaunch

    OK, so I just found a workaround.

    • Open the app and position and size it on monitor 2
    • Move the app to monitor 1
    • Close the app
    • Relaunch the app, it should retain its size and position on monitor 1
    • Move the app to the desired position on monitor 2
    • Relaunch the app and all should be green
    Let's just hope it continues to work on reboot.

  3. Saving windows position

    Hi Christoffer,

    I've tried to replicate what you want to achieve. I tested a few Windows apps (Weather app, Paint app, and Skype app) and I was able to set the size and the position of each app. When I close and open an app, it opens right where I placed its floating window.
    You may follow these steps:

    • Open an app or a program.
    • Resize its window according to your preferrence.
    • Right-click on the upper-left hand corner of the app or program window, then click
      Size to lock the window size.
    • Move the window to your desired position.
    • Right-click again on the upper-left hand corner of the app or program window, then click
      Move to lock its position.
    • Close the app or program and then relaunch it.

    Please let me know how it goes for you so I'll be able to further check on this in case the above steps won't help.

    Regards.
