    Windows resetting application position and size after screen losing signal logout / inactivity


    So I have 2 monitors but it doesn't matter, because it also happens when using a single monitor.The problem is windows will reset the application position and size after the stop sending the signal to the monitor such as logout, long time no action.I have tested it a little bit with some situations.[ If the application is in the fullscreen and shown on the primary screen ]after the losing signal, the application is still in fullscreen and on the primary screen.[ If the application is not in the fullscreen and shown on the primary screen ]after the losing signal, the application will resize a

  2. Screens suddenly losing signal.

    Hi,

    No signal issues or screens losing signal may occur due to the following reasons:

    • Broken or loose cables
    • Defective or outdated video cards
    • Faulty ports
    • Incorrect video setup or settings

    Error 0x800700B7 means that there is a system restore error. To further rectify your concern in screens losing its signal, we advise checking and updating your video drivers. Refer to
    Andre Da Costa's Wiki article: How to: Install and Update drivers
    in Windows 10
    for the procedures. This will serve as your guide in ensuring that your video card drivers are all updated.

    Let us know if you need additional assistance.

    Applications not opening at same location and in same size after reopening

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I understand how frustrating it could be when the computer doesn’t work properly. However, we will need some information from you:

    • Are you facing this issue with all the applications or with specific application?

    You can change the size for opening of the program as Normal Window, Maximized or Minimized. Please follow the steps mentioned below to change the settings:

    • Right click on the icon of the application and click on Properties.
    • Under Run select the size of the window from the drop-down list.
    • Now, click on Apply and OK.

    Ideally, the applications are opened on the same position on the screen as they were closed last time. This issue may be due to a profile corruption. Hence, in order to eliminate possibilities, I would suggest you to create a new user account, and
    check if the issue persists. Follow the steps from the article
    Create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10 to create
    a new user account.

    Hope it helps.

    Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.

    Windows resetting application position and size after screen losing signal logout / inactivity

    Maintaining sizes and positions of application upon startup

    I have three applications that are in my startup folder: File Explorer, Outlook 2016, and Microsoft Edge Browser. Those applications are open all day long, but at night I have my power settings shutdown the computer after 5 hours. In the morning, when
    I restart the computer, those applications are restarted, but Microsoft Edge is not in the same position and its window is not the same sizes as when the computer was shut down. Both File Explorer and Outlook 2016 seem to be in the same positions and have
    the same sizes. Is there a way to tell Windows to remember the position and size of Edge, so I don't have to manually resize and reposition it every morning?
