Windows 10: Open windows in multiple monitors move around after sleep/lock

I am running the latest version of Windows 10 Home 64-bit on multiple monitors.

After I stop using my PC and Windows goes into sleep mode, the windows I left open in different monitors move around on their own to other monitors. This happens to browser windows and various app windows including O365 windows.

I recently upgraded from a 32-bit to 64-bit system. I had the same multiple monitor configuration on the 32-bit system and everything worked fine. The problem started after I upgraded to the 64-bit system on a new machine.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 graphics card I use has the latest drivers and Windows 10 has all current updates.

Is there a way to ensure the open windows stay in their original position after the system goes to sleep?

Windows 10 Sleep/Lock Problem

This advice did not work for me.

Some one wrote this.... just upgraded to Windows 10 and my monitor will not come back from Sleep or Lock Mode without turning off the computer and rebooting.

I am and I am having the same problem with not coming back from sleep mode. If I press the on off button the monitor will come back on
but everything is locked up and then I have to turn it off on the tower. And then turn it back on. What I have found to work is turning the power options to never turn off or sleep and then just turn off the
monitor during the day and then just shut it off at night.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
