That's really strange, keep me posted if the issue comes back.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Windows move to 2nd and 3rd monitors https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-move-to-2nd-and-3rd-monitors/?ID=3711f963-a571-4652-aade-77a51f06a180#27 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 19:05:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-move-to-2nd-and-3rd-monitors/?ID=3711f963-a571-4652-aade-77a51f06a180#27 DisplayFusion It hadn't been consistently working or not working. Sometimes it would work with a specific timer set and other times it wouldn't so it made it hard for to make the error happen. It all seemed to just be random. I have since uninstalled and reinstalled and also upgraded to windows 11. So far I haven't run into the issue and I started with the timer at 10000ms and am down to 6000ms and so far they have all been working. ]]> RE: Windows move to 2nd and 3rd monitors https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-move-to-2nd-and-3rd-monitors/?ID=3711f963-a571-4652-aade-77a51f06a180#26 Mon, 25 Oct 2021 18:01:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-move-to-2nd-and-3rd-monitors/?ID=3711f963-a571-4652-aade-77a51f06a180#26 DisplayFusion Hi Ruben,

Could you send me over two debug logs, one with the timer set to 9000ms, and one with it set to 10,000ms? Here are the steps:

  • On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
  • Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
  • Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
  • Reply with the file attached
  • Disable debug logging after sending the log

So right now its set at 9000ms and the main monitor and the one on the right have everything window I left open swapped. The monitor on the left only had one open window and that window remained there. ]]> RE: Windows move to 2nd and 3rd monitors https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-move-to-2nd-and-3rd-monitors/?ID=3711f963-a571-4652-aade-77a51f06a180#24 Thu, 21 Oct 2021 17:19:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-move-to-2nd-and-3rd-monitors/?ID=3711f963-a571-4652-aade-77a51f06a180#24 DisplayFusion Ok, I'll start trying that and see what happens.

Can you lower that timer by 1000ms each time you wake your computer, and see at what point it breaks?

Let's also try raising that wait timer on the restore trigger to 10,000ms and see if that changes anything.

It seems like windows are swapping between the 2nd and 3rd monitor. The primary monitor goes back to the way it was before my computer went to sleep/idle but the windows on the other two monitors have moved. ]]> RE: Windows move to 2nd and 3rd monitors https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-move-to-2nd-and-3rd-monitors/?ID=3711f963-a571-4652-aade-77a51f06a180#19 Fri, 08 Oct 2021 15:58:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-move-to-2nd-and-3rd-monitors/?ID=3711f963-a571-4652-aade-77a51f06a180#19 DisplayFusion Yes, my computer is set to sleep at 10 minutes.

Thanks for sending that over. Is your computer set to sleep at 10 minutes? Can you try lowering that value to say, 500 seconds, and see if that helps?

Thanks for sending that over. If you open up the DisplayFusion Settings > Functions, can you attach a key combination to the "Save Window Positions" function, and the "Restore Window Positions From Last Save" function.

Once you have those set up, let's try saving your window positions manually, letting your computer go to sleep, and then restore them manually, and see if the issue persists. You may want to disable your trigger while you test this.

Let me know how that works! ]]> RE: Windows move to 2nd and 3rd monitors https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-move-to-2nd-and-3rd-monitors/?ID=3711f963-a571-4652-aade-77a51f06a180#11 Mon, 04 Oct 2021 18:41:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-move-to-2nd-and-3rd-monitors/?ID=3711f963-a571-4652-aade-77a51f06a180#11 DisplayFusion Here is the troubleshooting info.

Interesting, so if you have windows on your 2 side monitors, those get moved to the correct location when waking from sleep?

It sounds like the middle monitor is going to sleep first, the windows are getting moved to the sides, and then the profile is saving again.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Windows move to 2nd and 3rd monitors https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-move-to-2nd-and-3rd-monitors/?ID=3711f963-a571-4652-aade-77a51f06a180#7 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 19:40:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-move-to-2nd-and-3rd-monitors/?ID=3711f963-a571-4652-aade-77a51f06a180#7 DisplayFusion I tried enabling "Don't run this trigger when the desktop is locked" on the save triggers and it didn't seem to help.

What cables are you using to connect your monitors? Could you also try enabling "Don't run this trigger when the desktop is locked" on your save trigger, and see if that helps?

The screens flickers a bit when they wake and the taskbars on the 2nd and 3rd monitors disappear and then come back, the wallpapers also look like they are chopped up and spliced together but then all that fixes itself but the windows are in different locations from where I left them. ]]>
