    Resizing and moving all open windows after sleep or shutdown


    Windows all of a sudden is resizing and moving all open windows after sleep or shutdown, it will not remember the settings at all, already reinstalled drivers, uninstalled all programs, uninstalled all drivers, reset windows, done a repair installation - all to no avail. This is extremely frustrating it will open the windows offscreen or half screen, seemingly at random. this is on a tablet with Windows 10 Pro, I have never used an external monitor, the only thing that has changed is Windows Update, and I believe it started after changing the setting to disable Edge tabs from appearing in the

    moving and resizing

    Hi Bob,

    There may be several reasons why you are unable to resize or move applications after installing an update. To better assist you with your concern, we would like you to answer the questions below:

    • Does it happen only on one application?
    • Which application are you having issues resizing or moving?

    In the meantime, we suggest you to run the Windows 10 troubleshooter. Kindly follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key +X, select
      Control panel
    • Change the view by option on the top right to
      Large icons
    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the
      view all option on the left panel
    • Run the Windows Store apps troubleshooter
    Let us know how it goes.

    Open windows move and resize after sleep

    Thank you! But I don't think I made myself very clear. I typically have five windows open at once. When my computer wakes from sleep all of the windows have resized themselves and moved around. I then have to, of course, reposition them all again until
    the next time the computer sleeps when they reposition and resize once again. It's very annoying. I called support a couple of times when I first purchased the Vostro in December. They remote controlled my computer and thought they had fixed the issue but
    had not. I haven't called back because, frankly, I don't have 30 to 45 minutes to sit on the phone.

    Open windows move and resize after sleep

    I have a six month of Dell Vostro which came installed with Windows 10 Pro. Every time my computer sleeps when it wakes all open windows have shifted position and/or resized.
