    How do I stop windows repositioning and resizing?


    I know I've been here a lot lately. I have used Windows since 1997, but I have a new HP desktop machine, and I am having issues I've never encountered before.


    If I power off the monitor and later power it on, I find my app windows have resized smaller and reposition to the upper left corner of the screen. It's become truly annoying having to repeatedly reposition and resize them. I found one suggestion online, System > Multitasking > switch off "snap window," but this did not work. I only have one monitor attached. This does not happen when the power setting switches off the monitor, only when I manually switch it off with the power switch. I would prefer not to leave that switch on.


    How can I permanently stop this behavior?

    :)

    Using the touchpad to reposition/resize windows

    Hopefully I'm missing something simple but can anyone tell me how to reposition/resize an open app using the touchpad?

    It's very simple to do with the mouse or with the pen.

    Thanks.

    How do I stop windows repositioning and resizing?

    How do I stop Windows 10 from resizing and repositioning my windows when my computer goes to sleep?

    I have Windows 10 and am using an HP 2311x monitor. Whenever my computer goes to sleep and I go back to work, any open windows I had are all resized and repositioned on my screen. This is supremely obnoxious -- how can I make it stop?
