I don't think there's anything we can do here unfortunately.

You can click and drag its location to anywhere on the screen and as long as you have: "RememberLastLaunchLocation": true set in the %homepath%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerToys\PowerToys Run\Settings\PowerToysRunSettings.json file.

However, it is not persistent so on reboot it defaults back to the center of the screen. I therefore have been trying to create a trigger in DF to move the window to where I want.

I have tried each of these:

• Process Filename: *PowerToys.PowerLauncher.exe*
• Window Text:"PowerToys.PowerLauncher"

with an Action to Move Window to Specfic Size and Location but the windows that pops up does not move.

Any ideas if this is possible? ]]>
