Multiple monitors and OS remembering which apps were on which monitor

[refishafi]

Hi,

Is there a way of making sp4/win10 remember which apps were on which screen when connecting to one or more external displays. Currently if I am connected to an external display and the sp4 goes to sleep or screen turns off for some reason, all the apps appear back on the sp4 and I have to re-arrange them again on my external monitors.

Is there a way around this? Known issue?

umm...

I'm on 14393.321 on my sp4, if my sp4 goes to sleep after x minutes with the monitor connected, when I wake it up, I unlock the sp4 via windows hello and everything remains as it is.

If I disconnect the monitor and then reconnect it, well, then I have to set everything all over again.

Even if mysp4 goes to hibernate... Once I power it on with the monitor connected, it resumes as it was,

that's interesting, with me in the exact same scenario, all the apps move to the sp4 screen and I have to re-arrange everything again.

Not sure if it makes a difference, but in taskbar settings, under "Multiple Displays" I have:

Show taskbar on all displays - On

Show taskbar buttons on - Taskbar where window is open

Combine buttons on other taskbars - Always, hide labels

I'm not at my external monitor to check right now.

On another thread it states that this is a known issue for WIN 10 on high res displays, and I am connecting the sp4 to 2 4k monitors, wonder if a fix is in the works for this as it is quite irritating

I think DisplayFusion has a fix for that. https://www.displayfusion.com
