Windows 11 Suddenly Started to Resize and Move my Open Windows Position

How to fix that? Even IDM that I always put in the right corner would be moved on the left side of the screen, never had that problem? It seems to appeared after upgrading to 24H2. It usually happens...

    This issue is likely related to how Windows 11 handles multi-monitor setups or power-saving features after the upgrade to 24H2. Here are some potential fixes:

    1. Disable "Snap Windows":
      • Go to Settings > System > Multitasking.
      • Turn off "Snap windows" to stop Windows from automatically repositioning your open windows.
    2. Check Display Settings:
      • Go to Settings > System > Display.
      • Ensure your display settings, such as resolution and scaling, are correct for your monitor.
      • If you're using multiple monitors, set one as the primary display to prevent windows from moving unexpectedly.

This is NOT solved.  Windows get resized even after these fixes.  As the OP said, usually after windows hibernates.

    I finally fixed it. 
    Although it said "100% (Recommended) :

    I went for the setting and changed it from "100-500"

     to "100"


    Signed out and back in and it now works as before the recent update.

      this definitely worked for me. i've tried so many ways to fix this problem, with regkeys, updating my driver and it still didn't work. but this one right here did it, thank you so much

      did not work though.

      And Microsoft has conveniently just forgot about it marking another wrong answer (above) as a solution. Really sucks. These guys can't get this simple but very annoying bug fixed??
