Windows 10: Windows Apps Load in Different Positions Each Time

I have a fresh install of Windows 11 that is updated to the latest version via system update. I've noticed some of my Microsoft apps are not staying in the last state I left them in, when I place them on a certain portion of the screen and then close the program. For example, If I use the Snipping Tool to grab a screenshot, the window starts slowly creeping upwards toward the top of the screen at each new load. Meaning, it'll be in one spot on the middle of the screen at one use, and the next time I open it, it'll be slightly higher. Eventually, the toolbar menu is entirely cut off

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.

 

Long Loading Time for Lock Screen

Hello Pawan, thank you for the reply!

I've tried all of the steps that you've given me. Unfortunately, none of them made a difference except for the clean boot step. It didn't completely solve the problem, however I did notice a
slightly faster load time for the lock screen. However, it still takes an unusually long time to load it. Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Daniel
