Windows 10: Windows 11 - Surface Pro 8 + Dock 2 Multiple Monitors Issue

Hi,We are having an issue with applications remembering which screen to open up on.For example when the Surface is attached to the Dock we open software, drag it to the external monitor, close it and then reopen the software it will open on the external monitor.We then unplug the Dock from the Surface, reconnect the Dock to the Surface and now all software opens on the Surface screen rather than the external monitor.As you can imagine this is very frustrating as every time the Surface is used away from the desk, we then have to manually move all software back to the external monitor.Hardware:S

Surface Pro 4 Docking issues

I have a Surface Pro 3 and a Surface Pro 4, two docking stations, two external monitors, keyboards and bluetooth mice.

Up until two weeks ago, everything worked great. (since December)

Then, (after an update) the Surface Pro 4 monitor does not go full screen. There is a wide black border and it has to be extended each time.

I put the Surface Pro 4 on the Pro 3 dock and same thing. (Yes, they are the identical dock, monitor and keyboard)

Surface Pro 3 works great on both docks so it is not the docks, monitors or cables.

This is getting frustrating.

 

Surface Pro 4 Docking issues

Our company has several Surface pros in use from 2, 3 and a few 4's. We are using dual monitors with several of them. We are trying to get the best all-around connection to them but still loose monitors occasionally. Sometimes it’s an issue trying to
reconnect them. We use some Docking Station's with the StarTech MSTMDP123DP with display port to DVI at the monitors for some users. We are also trying the Surface Dock. We are having an issue with the Surface Dock right now using the Mini Display to a DVI
on a Samsung S24C200 Monitor or Mini Display to Display Port on the monitor side using the Samsung S24E450DL monitor. When plugged into the Dock the monitor will not show, just a black screen, but it is recognized on the surface. Sometimes it will show the
image but not use the whole monitor even at recommended resolution. If I plug it in on the Display port on the surface itself it works perfect. Should we be using an active monitor cable with the Surface Dock. Please review this and help with a solution. What
is the best performance monitors and cabling without an extreme cost? Thanks for your help.
