    Is there a way to make programs remember their size & location?


    I'm running 4 displays but one of them isn't next to me so it's a bit of a pain when things don't go where they need to be. I keep a Chrome window & Rekordbox DJ open on my separated display. I'm using half the screen for each window, (4k portrait, 2160x1920 windows)

    Is there a way to make at least rekordbox always open to that bottom half of the display in 2160x1920?

    App/program windows open in random sizes and locations

    I prefer to have my app/program windows open "maximized" but recently they've been opening at less-than-maximized sizes (and sometime locations), if I'd used them at those smaller sizes sometime in the past. This happens mostly with MS Office applications,
    especially Word and Excel, but Outlook seems to be unaffected.

    I had a similar problem years ago and the solution then seemed to have something to do with clearing out a window-size cache, but I can't remember the details.

    I'm running Windows 10 Pro, v. 1607, and the Office 2010 Pro suite.

    Suggestions?

    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.
