    Windows get shuffled around when switching desktops


    Hello everyone, I have been using the 'Multiple Desktop' feature for a while now Ctrl + Start + Left or Right.But about 2-3 months ago, it has started shuffling windows around when I switch between desktops ever since we have moved office.I have the exact same monitors as before and I've tried moving the monitors about in the virtual setup:I have one vertical, one horizontal and may laptop screen which has different DPI. I should also note the monitors are both connected via a laptop hub via USB-C.I have upgraded from windows 10 to 11 hoping it would resolve the issue but no luck. I'm also a

    How do I disable the Experience/Assessment Index tool?

    If you want to disable winSAT.exe then do the following:


    Step 1. Go to Task Scheduler. You simply type it in the search box.
    Step 2. Browse to Microsoft\Windows\Maintenance by clicking on the arrow for Task Scheduler Library folder with the clock on it.
    Step 3. Disable the task named WinSAT. Which is found to the right in a small boxed window. Right click on the word WinSAT and select disable.

    As for the changing desktop if you want to prevent it from shuffling do the following:
    -right click on desktop
    -click on Personalization
    -click on Desktop Background
    -Uncheck Shuffle
