Automatically size and position certain windows


Hi,

I'm running Windows 10 pro x64.

I have an UHD monitor and would really like it if there was a way or application to set up certain windows to be a specific place on the screen and a specific size when they open.

For example, each time I want to save or load any file a small dialogue box appears which I need to resize to the screen height. I do actually need the dialogue box to be that size.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

 

Applications not opening at same location and in same size after reopening

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand how frustrating it could be when the computer doesn’t work properly. However, we will need some information from you:

• Are you facing this issue with all the applications or with specific application?
  

You can change the size for opening of the program as Normal Window, Maximized or Minimized. Please follow the steps mentioned below to change the settings:

• Right click on the icon of the application and click on Properties.
  
• Under Run select the size of the window from the drop-down list.
  
• Now, click on Apply and OK.
  

Ideally, the applications are opened on the same position on the screen as they were closed last time. This issue may be due to a profile corruption. Hence, in order to eliminate possibilities, I would suggest you to create a new user account, and
check if the issue persists. Follow the steps from the article
Create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10 to create
a new user account.

Hope it helps.

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.

Cant place icons on certain places on dekstop

Hi,

The issue you are currently experiencing happens when the scaling is not set to the recommended value. To check if you have the recommended settings, follow these steps:

• Click Start, type scaling and select
  Change the size of apps on the screen under Best match.
• Check the value of Change the size of text, apps, and other items
  and make sure it is set to 100%.
• Click Apply, move the icons where you want them to be, restart your computer and check if the issue persists.
  

Let us know if this solution will resolve your concern.
