Windows moving around after monitors wake up
mouser:
Great find, Francis. Thank you for sharing.
mouser:
Unfortunately this problem has come back with a vengeance for me after swapping out monitors, and none of the posted registry edits seem to help..
Anyone else find another way around this? I'm on Win7.
Ath:
While swapping out monitors, did any if them end up being connected by displayport? Last time that was the 'cause' :-[

This problem seems to have something to do with specific types of monitors (and not with the type of connection in my experience). At home I plug in two older LG monitors and even if I manually shut off the monitors, the extended desktops stay in place. But at work I have newer HP monitors and if I turn those off, my Win7 laptop disconnects the extended desktops and moves the windows back to the laptop monitor. I normally turn my monitors on and off just to help me focus on one monitor (and one task) when I need to, but I can't do that with the HP monitors as it's just too messy with stuff moving out of place. BTW, in both locations, I use the same connector types: one VGA and one DisplayPort.
mouser:
I think someone is going to have to write a program that memorizes window positions before they go to sleep and restores them after they wake up since Windows is doing a bad job of it..
