Windows 10: Remember Window Size

ericnixmd · Apr 22, 2018

Is there no way to remember a window size with Windows 10? I remember in previous versions you could set the window size and position.

When I open Chrome, generally the first session will open (usually) correctly. Sometimes I have to slide the title bar off the screen in order to reach the bottom of the window to resize it. It sometimes likes to cut a portion of the window off.

If I open another Chrome window, it is off-centered from the top by about a half inch. I would like it to be in the same position (or at least shift vertically instead).

Does anyone know any tricks here?

Edge Doesn't Remember Window Size

Have you considered upgrading to a more recent release to see if the problem is resolved?

Edge Doesn't Remember Window Size

Give these a try:

Option 1:

Open Microsoft Edge.

If the window is maximized, minimize it first.

Once the window is minimized, hover your cursor to the side until you see an arrow. Press and hold the left click button on your mouse to adjust the size of the window.

Once done, close Microsoft Edge.

Open Microsoft Edge, and check if it will keep the same size that you've adjusted.

Option 2:

Open Edge then maximize window, press CTRL while left click on Restore Size/Maximize (top right of the window). After closing Edge it will open with the last size.

Option 3:

Open Start

Type regedit

Right click regedit

Click Run as administrator

Navigate to the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ApplicationFrame\WindowSizing\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MicrosoftEdge

Under this key there is a subkey named PreferredLaunchWindowingMode.

Change it's HEX value from 0x000000(1) to 0x000000(0) and it should behave correctly.

Exit, restart then seee if it works.

None of the above work. Guess I'll just live with the annoyance.

When you open the first instance of program or app, it will open with the same size and position, all the next instances (2nd, 3rd windows etc) will open a bit lower and to the right. It is by design, so you can see it.

If single window (app) is opening in different position, then something is wrong

this is by design..
