Windows 10: Window Size and Position

I might already have a thread about this.

An application window will have a given size and position upon initial installation. I have a window which has had both changed since its initial installation. I want to restore the original values. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, to no avail. Does anyone know how I can restore the initial values? I tried a brief search of the registry; but, did not find what I needed.

Save Window Position

Hi Shane,

Saving the window size/position when opening a message to a new window is easy. Simply follow the steps below on how to do so:

• Open a message in a new window.
• Press and hold the Ctrl button on your keyboard and click on the
  X button at upper right corner of the window to close it.
• When you open a message in another window, the size/position of the window should be saved.

If you have other questions, do let us know.

 

Saving windows position

Hi Christoffer,

I've tried to replicate what you want to achieve. I tested a few Windows apps (Weather app, Paint app, and Skype app) and I was able to set the size and the position of each app. When I close and open an app, it opens right where I placed its floating window.
You may follow these steps:

1. Open an app or a program.
2. Resize its window according to your preferrence.
3. Right-click on the upper-left hand corner of the app or program window, then click
   Size to lock the window size.
4. Move the window to your desired position.
5. Right-click again on the upper-left hand corner of the app or program window, then click
   Move to lock its position.
6. Close the app or program and then relaunch it.

Please let me know how it goes for you so I'll be able to further check on this in case the above steps won't help.

Regards.

 

Windows 10 apps do not remember size and position on relaunch

OK, so I just found a workaround.

• Open the app and position and size it on monitor 2
• Move the app to monitor 1
• Close the app
• Relaunch the app, it should retain its size and position on monitor 1
• Move the app to the desired position on monitor 2
• Relaunch the app and all should be green

Let's just hope it continues to work on reboot.
