If it fires for some reason when the windows are in the wrong spots, then they get saved with the wrong positions

Desktop Locked is more reliable if the computer locks, since it will save the positions when they're good. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/triggers-not-working-for-saverestore-window-position/?ID=eaa637c7-85f5-4da5-8cf0-c44d5b798258#11 Tue, 06 Nov 2018 22:00:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/triggers-not-working-for-saverestore-window-position/?ID=eaa637c7-85f5-4da5-8cf0-c44d5b798258#11 DisplayFusion That seems to have worked! After unlocking my computer, a few seconds pass where the windows flash/move around, but, it looks like the windows do end up where it should be on the second monitor. Will be testing this for a few days to make sure it's consistent.

Is there a reason the other trigger with time interval didn't work?

So the "Time Interval" function is working now. When I manually restore with the hot key, it goes back to the positions of last 10 seconds. However, the function to restore last save window position when "Desktop Unlocked", does not work and still moves all my windows to the primary monitor. I have attached screenshots of my settings. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/triggers-not-working-for-saverestore-window-position/?ID=eaa637c7-85f5-4da5-8cf0-c44d5b798258#6 Thu, 01 Nov 2018 17:18:46 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/triggers-not-working-for-saverestore-window-position/?ID=eaa637c7-85f5-4da5-8cf0-c44d5b798258#6 DisplayFusion Thanks!

Can you attach a screenshot of the Save trigger rule? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/triggers-not-working-for-saverestore-window-position/?ID=eaa637c7-85f5-4da5-8cf0-c44d5b798258#3 Fri, 26 Oct 2018 20:42:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/triggers-not-working-for-saverestore-window-position/?ID=eaa637c7-85f5-4da5-8cf0-c44d5b798258#3 DisplayFusion It does not.

Even when I am on my desktop and wait 10-20 seconds and move some windows and do a manual restore, it does not work. So that means the time interval trigger to save window position every 10 seconds doesn't work. Thoughts?

Thank you. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/triggers-not-working-for-saverestore-window-position/?ID=eaa637c7-85f5-4da5-8cf0-c44d5b798258#2 Fri, 26 Oct 2018 17:33:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/triggers-not-working-for-saverestore-window-position/?ID=eaa637c7-85f5-4da5-8cf0-c44d5b798258#2 DisplayFusion If you only run the Restore Function manually after unlocking, does it work? (to test if the save trigger is working) ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/triggers-not-working-for-saverestore-window-position/?ID=eaa637c7-85f5-4da5-8cf0-c44d5b798258 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 14:15:32 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/triggers-not-working-for-saverestore-window-position/?ID=eaa637c7-85f5-4da5-8cf0-c44d5b798258 DisplayFusion Hello,

I have installed DisplayFusion Pro and have been playing around with settings to help resolve the issue with Windows 10 window positions switching to the primary monitor after unlocking the desktop. After locking the desktop and monitors go to sleep, I log back in, all my applications/windows are moved from the secondary monitor to the primary monitor and window size changes.

I have set 2 triggers:
1. Event: Timer Interval at 10 sec with Action: Run Function: Save Window Positions
2. Event Desktop Unlocked with Action: Run Function: Restore Window Positions From Last Save

I confirmed if I did the manual hotkeys for Save Window Positions and Restore Window Positions From Last Save, it works. But, not for the triggers time interval and unlocking the desktop.

It doesn't seem to work. Am I missing something? Anyone have any advice?

Thank you. ]]>
