  2. Windows Explorer windows keep changing from last position.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your interest in Windows 10!

    As per the description, I understand that you're experiencing issue with Windows Explorer window position.

    I would suggest you to check for updates and install all the updates properly. This could also be a possible cause of Display driver incompatibility issue.

    You may check updating the graphics card driver.

    If the drivers are not available for Windows 10 I would suggest you to install the drivers available from manufacturer's website in compatibility mode.

    Follow the steps below on how to install driver in compatibility mode:


    • Download the driver from the manufacturer’s website and save it on your local disk.

    • Right click on the setup file of the driver and select “Properties”.

    • Select “Compatibility” Tab.

    • Place a check mark next to “Run this program in Compatibility mode” and
      select operating system from the drop down list.

    • Let the driver install and then check the functionality.
    Let us know if the issue persists, and we will be glad to assist you.

  3. Explorer and Recycle Bin windows don't remember position

    Thanks, but alas ,your suggestion is not working, after opening, draging to desired position, closing and reopening ,the explorer and recycle bin windows still slide to different positions ,the explorer window for example after each close\reopen slide towards
    the right buttom corner of the screen ,after reaching right buttom corner and no where else to go ,it now opens up on the right upper corner of the screen ,after that it opens on the left upper corner ! Looks like a yo-yo dancing all over the screen Windows explorer changes position when switching monitors :)

If I switch it off with the button at bottom right and back on again, all windows sizes and positions have been lost. They are then in some 'standard'-looking layout...
