What you could do is set key combinations on the "Save Window Positions" and "Restore Window Positions From Last Save" functions on the DisplayFusion Settings > Functions tab. You can then save the positions when they're good, and restore them if they get messed up :)

Hope that helps! ]]> Prevent Application windows from "moving" to a particular display? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/prevent-application-windows-from-moving-to-a-particular-display/?ID=0c5cd568-e046-40ff-aafe-19a207e41776 Fri, 12 Jun 2020 01:44:25 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/prevent-application-windows-from-moving-to-a-particular-display/?ID=0c5cd568-e046-40ff-aafe-19a207e41776 DisplayFusion So my situation. I technically have 3 displays. I have 2 monitors, and a stero reciever connected via HDMI for 5.1 audio. Because Win10, the Head unit is treated as a Display by windows. So it has to be active as "monitor" to get HMDI audio streams. which is fine...until I turn off one of my actual monitors for any reason, and Win10 shuffles all the open application windows to the Reciver's "Display," which of course doesn't have a monitor connected to it because its a 5.1 sound system.

A good example of when this happens? ANY time you alt-tab in and out of a full screen application, like a video game to use Discord.

I can move them back to either of my *actual* monitors, but I have move each window at a time, and then resize them all. Its highly annoying.

So is there a way to ensure that app-windoes do NOT get moved to this display when my primary is turned off? ]]>
