Windows 10: Remember window position?

I'm at work so can't check, but I think my Explorer (as well as VLC and Chrome, maybe some other things) seems to remember its position fairly well. However, if I open the partition manager, or the start menu properties, they are always right off in a corner of the screen at a tiny size, no matter where I moved them or sized them the last time.

Irritating.

 

it is most noticeable when you open the window/program, close it -by using the x- with your mouse and repeat this.. you will notice that the window wanders slightly to the right and down a bit.

 

Link to Windows Manager?

BTW I do see the way Windows is responding but it just doesn't bother me. I'll try harder.

 

I know it may seem nit picky, but it's an important distinction. If it didn't remember it's position it would always open in the default position regardless of where it was when you closed it. The fact that it remembers it's position, then seems to deliberately adjust means that it always opens in a different place, based on where the window was when you closed it.

 

yes, I agree with you. again. but this new-win10-issue still bothers me.

 

I registered just to say I'm with the OP on this one *Mad

 

I have the same problem too, please fix it.

 

Just use this little tweak for Windows 7. Works great on 10, taskbar on the bottom. Make sure you have it run at windows startup. You can open, close and reopen any window (pictures,libraries, control panel etc.) a thousand times and it stays put.

Download the 1st setup exe.

 

Thank you!! Works great *Smile

 

You're quite welcome. Here's how it should be set up. You can uncheck "show tray icon"

 

i have the same problem and I even posted my question in the MS forum with no answer / responds . But I'm sure if one pays MS tech service they'll look into it. LOL Pay to have a MS buy fix LOL NO THANK YOU !!!!

 

I alredy use it but it has a problem, when you open a new folder it places the folder in a random position and not in cascade like windows does by default.

 

Snake,

Make sure you set it up as shown below in my pictures.

1) Make sure you enable "Start Automatically at Logon"

2) The option: "When navigating to a new location" choose: "Use window as is".

3) The option: "When opening a new window" choose: "Update Window"

Using these options should make windows perform the way you want it to *Smile








I forgot to mention that the .exe file would not work on my system but I downloaded and used the 64bit version and it works as advertised *Smile

 

I now understand your complaint with windows remembering. I found two links that explain the problem


Can we get a straight answer - Windows does not remember window size and position - Bug or by design? Workaround?

And the video to show the problem Windows 7 - Windows does not remember window size and position - YouTube

 

you do realize, your links refers to a win 7 issue? in the video the user is showing how win 7 behaves.

well, I tried it anyway, but it doesn't let me install. but that was expected. after all the hotfix mentioned by the software developer is for Windows 7/WindowsServer 2008 R2 AND is a hotfix for a completely different issue..

even the settings 'Launch folder in a seperate prozess' and 'Restore folder window at logon' - view tab>options>view tab- don't fix the issue.

<<for mystere*Wink

I also see that you are using win 10. where you able to fix this issue -slugger- by using the mentioned hotfix (Fix298725)?? I doubt it, but I must ask...
