Windows 10: How to size and place programs to stay in place next time you open them

Hello, it would be quite helpful if I could learn how to keep/save my programs in the size that I make them and also in the same location where I place them on the screen so that next time I turn on the computer and open everything up, they open up in the desired place and are the desired size .. if that makes sense. I am running Windows 10 and have half a dozen programs that I use each day and it would be great if I didn't have to size them and place them how I like them every morning and if they could just remember how I like them to be!

P.S I did Google this and tried the "hold ctrl button and press X to close" technique, but it didn't work, as the next time I opened these, I had to resize, replace as usual.

I am very, very grateful for the correct answer, it may only save me two minutes each morning, but I would prefer to use those two minutes on actual work rather than this little task. Many thanks.

:)

Hi,

IE 11 suddenly does not open in the same place and size from the last time. I have to move and resize it every time I open the window. SO frustrating

I am Windows 10
