OS
Win 11 Pro
Win 11 with 3 monitors (extended desktop). Latest software, firmware, drivers, updates, etc. Do not use any additional monitor profiles / resolutions / configurations etc.

I open data folder A, then move it and size it and close it. I open data folder B and it does not remember where it was or what size it was the last time it was closed. It opens up on same monitor at same location and size as data folder A that I just closed.

I change data folder B to preferred monitor, screen position and size, and close it.

I open data folder A and now it displays on same monitor, same size and position as folder B.

I have unsuccessfully searched for a resolution. Found lots of similar concerns, mostly outdated, but no fix. Beginning to wonder if this is the way it is SUPPOSED to work. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have been using a program called "ShellFolderFix" since Win 7 days. It works on Win 11 also and will do/fix exactly what it sounds like you want.
Look here (it's on the Win 7 Forum): Win 7 Forum 'ShellFolderFix'

Genius! I FORGOT that I used to use this on Win 7 also. Can't wait to try it now. Thanks
