Window offscreen at startup
AzureToad:
My Evernote window shows up offscreen every stinkin' time i reboot. >:(
I've moved and resized the window, shut down the application and then started it up again and it retains previous location/size, as one would expect.
BUT - when I reboot the desktop, i see the icon in the task bar and the window is once again, offscreen.
I used AutoHotkey's Window Spy to see that the window's X-Y coordinates are set to -32000 & -32000. Searching the registry for "-32000" results in these results:
--- ---Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppUserModelId\Microsoft.Windows.ParentalControls (also in HKLM)
- DisplayName = @%SystemRoot%\system32\WpcRefreshTask.dll,-32000
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\AsyncMac (also in HKLM)
- Description (also DisplayName) = @%systemroot%\system32\mprmsg.dll,-32000
Details:
OS = Windows 10 1703 build 15063.1746
3 monitors, left-most is primary, all are set to 1920x1080.
Anyone have any trouble-shooting ideas for getting my window to appear on one of my monitors after rebooting?

You might try after you get it positioned on the screen to close it (completely, including the taskbar notification icon) and then re-open it. It's likely that they're saving the position on exit, and if you reboot without closing, it might not go through that procedure.

What Wraith said, but when you do that use regmon or something like it to track any registry writes that it is doing. Personally I would think it's something in HKCU\Software\Evernote or wherever.
Heh - actually I just ran across this page that purports to list all of Evernote's registry settings, maybe there is a clue there.
Also, this page for a utility that "is a small app that allows you to change some of Evernote's more useful, but hidden Regsitry settings".

Yeah, that works until the next reboot. I've exited ALL apps and rebooted, this one is the stubborn app that refuses to obey the "rules".

REGMON. That's a good idea - thanks for the tip, i'll check that out.
I perused the links and, while they've got some good information, they both are a bit dated unfortunately. Evernote's changed their UI quite a bit since v1.0.
