I’m still convinced this is caused by wake from sleep setting off the “Restart Explorer.exe” process.

Yes, that is the frustrating part. I sometimes see my windows appear correctly for a split second, and then they shrink away to the corner of the screen.

Release notes for KB5046740 claim that this update fixes the problem. However, Microsoft describes it as a multi-monitor issue (not true) and the fix is set only for gradual rollout under unspecified timeline and criteria.

I applied the update, but the problem is still not fixed for me. Of course, with this gradual rollout policy, it's difficult to know if the fix is bad, if MS incorrectly applies it to multi-monitor only, or if the fix hasn't yet been "rolled out" to my system. I don't understand why Microsoft chooses to make this so annoying.

I have been having these screen issues as well but it seems to have gone now. Put it down to KB5046740 installed yesterday.

OK, spoke too soon. The darned screen jump left and smaller has just happened again.

Getting sick of re-doing my screen layout.

There's an App called PersistentWindows, which supposedly remembers size/location of various windows... with a vengeance. I haven't used it, but I heard about it a while back...

github.com

Release 5.59 · kangyu-california/PersistentWindows

Feature enhancement: auto save both live and dead window position history as xml file, so that all historical auto-restore points and snapshots are automatically refreshed upon any app upgrade/rest...
github.com github.com


This project addresses a long-standing issue in Windows 7, 10, and 11, where windows get repositioned after events such as the system waking up, external monitor connections or disconnections, changes in monitor resolution (e.g., exiting full-screen gaming), or during RDP reconnections.

Thanks @Ghot.

It's working so far!

Darned annoying that I had to install it though. I would still like to find out what caused the problem. So many years with not seeing this on multiple machines, until now.

I hope we find out what caused it.

I have seen a few topics about this issue.
I guess we'll just have to add it to the 24H2 bugs list. 😒
