Oh well I see it's complicated but is really one of those things I think windows should give the user more control. it would be super useful to have an option to "lock" certain windows until "unlocked".

Oh yeah I actually thought that's how it works its just some applications don't remember anything, or like that Steam skin it always remembers its *last* position, except if you move it that position changes, and since sometimes while moving windows around windows thinks it should "reorder" all other windows. This is again, the apps managing this, hence the discrepancy on the definition of "center" between each app that start at the center of the screen. Some programs always open at the middle of the screen or screen s (which is another problem when you have dual screen setup, as the program is split between 2 screens). This is why for some application if you kill them from Task manager, they don't save their last position/size' cause it is typically coded so that it saves that info on exit (other capture the events and saves, so that trick doesn't work).

We will see if that really happens by the end of 2021.Īs for Window positioning and sizing, this is actually controlled by the application.Įach application can choose to let Windows manage it (Windows will use its cascading layout), or itself take control. at the very least, in consideration to be removed. Yes, there is should have been an option since its introduction.īut anyway, looks like it is. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AdvancedĬreate a DWORD (32-bit) called: DisallowShaking, and set it to 1. also it never remembers positioning of windows, it remembers the last position, of one window, and then opens the next one just on top of it! I know there's cascading which would almost solve most of my issues, though unfortunately that "cascades" all windows and there isn't an option to "lock" certain windows as far I know so I can't really use it.Īero Shake can be turned off from the registry. imo there should be an option to turn off all "automatic" windows size and positioning options. That would be great it's so annoying, I move windows around a lot and sometimes, randomly they just disappear to the taskbar and I have to open them all again. This isn't as much a complaint, more than saying I don't know if there are options for these things, I just have to guess probably not. since it's really annoying and tedious to bring it in exactly that position again.

Tho some programs seem to remember their position or just always open at the same position (like precision x1 for example), problem is my steam "window" (on the left) which should not ever change position or size.
