  1. Reopening windows at edge of screen.


    I've noticed something in Windows 10 that I've not experienced in previous versions, and I'm wondering if there's a registry setting to configure.



    If I have multiple windows open, so not just one big maximized window, I like to arrange them so they are touching the edges of the screen they are closest too. This way I'm not wasting an screen space.



    I know I can snap windows to the screen edges, but that seems to always want to resize the snapped window so it touches the entire part of that side the screen. Like, if I have a shell window open, and just want it to be nestled right up in the top left of my screen, only using about 1/12 of my total screen area, I know I can try to snap it to that top-left corner, but then Windows wants to resize it so it stretches from the top of the screen to the bottom. That isn't what I want. So instead I carefully align it to that top-left corner. This works fine.



    OK, now *here* is the issue. When I close that window and then reopen it, it reopens up in the top left again, but it is no longer exactly in the top-left where I placed it. It is moved a few pixels down and to the right from that corner. So I have to carefully move it again. This happens with all windows I open on the desktop, not just with shell windows. Any window I had previously aligned against any edge of the screen aligns several pixels away from that screen edge when the window is closed and reopened. Why do they not reopen exactly where they were? This never happened in previous versions of Windows, and it's really irritating to have to carefully put everything back where I want it each time I reopen my browser, email client, or whatever.



    Has anyone else noticed this? I tried Googling to see if there's a setting I can modify to prevent this from happening but all the pages I found were instructions on how to use the edge-snap feature, which is not what I want. Does anyone know of a way to modify Windows 10 so reopening windows will reopen them exactly where they were, edge-aligned, instead of nudging them away from the edges of the screen?

    Edge has problem with reopenning last tabs

    Since update 1511 Edge starts to lose list of "Last opened pages" (or browsing sessions or last opened tab...don't know exactly the name of the function) and open only blank page or topsites - depends on settings. Usually it reopens without PC restart. And
    usually it doesn't reopen after PC restart. BUT as I said... usually Reopening windows at edge of screen. :) Before update 1511 it was working well. I have switched from IE to Edge especially because of disappearing "Last opened" list in IE :-( and now there is same problem in Edge :-(

    Any solution?

    Best regards
