Windows 10: Snap application windows to specific places.

I have a laptop at work with two external monitors. I like to have apps set in specific places on certain screens. But when I undock my laptop to go to meetings or such, when I get back all apps are on the main screen of my 3 screen setup and I have to reconfigure them all again.

I have not been able to find a setting in Windows 10 that will save the location of windows. Is there any apps that I can install (free or paid) that can remember where I like these windows and at a click, snap them back to that place?

Dragging windows to snap app windows does not work

Thank you very much for your response.

• When I try to snap an application window into place from a task view it bounces right back into its original place. There are no messages that accompany this behavior.
  • This happens in both the laptop and tablet modes.
  • However, if I right click onto a window, I am given a choice of: snap left, snap right, move to, show this window on all desktops, show windows from this app on all desktops, and close.
  • In the multitasking setting, I have all the options in SNAP set to “on.”
• I keep the computer current on all the latest updates ( I check every Tuesday).
• My computer uses Windows 10, version 1703, OS Build 15063.483

Thanks again for your help,



Regards,



Bob
