Automatically Saving and Restoring Window Positions on Dock/Undock

April 11, 2016
When undocking and re-docking a laptop to external monitors, Windows moves all open applications to the laptop monitor. When re-docking, the applications don't automatically move back to the external monitor(s)
You can solve this issue by automatically saving and restoring the window positions using DisplayFusion's "Triggers" feature. The steps below describe how to achieve this:
Note: While this guide is written for a docking/undocking scenario, it will also work for desktop computers that have issues with windows moving around when the monitors sleep. For another approach, see this guide: Automatically Save and Restore Window Positions on Sleep/Resume
First, you'll want to save your current docked arrangement as a Monitor Profile. If you have yet to create a Monitor Profile, you can do so from the same location within DisplayFusion.
  • Right-click the DisplayFusion tray icon and click "Monitor Configuration."
    Tray Icon Menu - Monitor Configuration
  • Configure your monitors as desired and save the profile.
    Save Monitor Profile
  • Click "OK"
  • Once you have a docking profile, continue.
  • Right-click the DisplayFusion icon and click "Settings."
    Tray Menu - Settings
  • Select the "Triggers" tab, then enable the "Enable Triggers" checkbox.
    Enable Triggers
  • Click the "Add" button.
    Add Trigger
  • Click the "Event" dropdown and select "Timer Interval."
    Trigger Settings
  • In the "Idle Timeout (sec)" field, type
    120
    .
  • Enable the "Monitor Profile" checkbox, and select your docking profile.
  • In the "Actions" area, click "Add" and select "Run Function."
    Run Function
  • In the pop-up, select "Save Window Positions" and click "OK."
    Save Windows Positions
  • Click "OK" to save the Trigger rule.
  • Click the "Add" button again.
  • For the "Event" dropdown, select "Monitor Profile Changed."
    Monitor Profile Changed
  • Enable the "Monitor Profile" checkbox, and select your docking profile.
  • Click "Add," then click "Wait," entering "5000" in the text field. Click "OK." If the 5000 ms wait is working well, you can try reducing that to speed up the restore time.
  • Wait
    5000
  • Click "Add" again, this time clicking "Run Function" and selecting "Restore Window Positions From Last Save." Click "OK."
  • Run Function
    Restore Window Positions
  • Click "OK" to save the Trigger rule.
You'll see your newly-added Triggers with a green background, indicating they are enabled.

Automatically Save and Restore Window Positions on Sleep/Resume

January 29, 2016
Some types of HDMI monitors, and most DisplayPort monitors will be "disconnected" from the computer when powered off or when entering sleep mode. This causes Windows to do a full display re-detection on sleep and resume, which repositions open application windows.
DisplayFusion is able to save your window positions before the system sleeps and restore them when it wakes. The steps below describe how to achieve this with DisplayFusion:
Note:
If your system is not set to lock on sleep or screen saver, the window positions won't be automatically restored when resuming from sleep or screen saver.
  • Right-click the DisplayFusion icon and click "Settings."
    Tray Menu - Settings
  • Select the "Triggers" tab, then enable the "Enable Triggers" checkbox.
    Enable Triggers
  • Click the "Add" button.
    Add Trigger
  • Click the "Event" dropdown and select "System Idle."
    System Idle
  • In the "Idle Timeout (sec)" field, add the time in seconds less one minute of the time your monitors/system is configured to sleep. (e.g. If monitors are set to sleep after 10 minutes, set the Idle Timeout to "540")
    Timeout
  • In the "Actions" area, click "Add" and select "Run Function."
    Run Function
  • In the pop-up, select "Save Window Positions" and click "OK."
    Save Windows Positions
  • Click "OK" to save the Trigger rule.
  • Click the "Add" button again.
  • For the "Event" dropdown, select "Desktop Unlocked."
  • Click "Add," then click "Wait," entering "5000" in the text field. Click "OK." If the 5000 ms wait is working well, you can try reducing that to speed up the restore time.
  • Wait
    5000
  • Click "Add" again, this time clicking "Run Function" and selecting "Restore Window Positions From Last Save." Click "OK."
  • Run Function
    Restore Window Positions
  • Click "OK" to save the Trigger rule.
  • You'll see your newly-added Triggers with a green background, indicating they are enabled.
    Triggers
    To manually load the positions, assign a key combination to the "Restore Window Positions From Last Save" function. Follow these steps, if needed:
  • Select the "Functions" tab in DisplayFusion's Settings window, select the function "Restore Window Positions From Last Save," then click "Edit."
    Edit Function
  • Select your modifiers and enter a key, then click "OK."
    Key Combination
  • You'll see your Key Combination in the column next to the Function. Click "Apply" to finalize your changes.
    Save Changes
  • Click "OK" to apply the DisplayFusion Settings.
