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 didn't fix it for me, though.

        When I posted my "solution" I had tried it with few programs and it worked.

        After that I started all programs that normally run constantly , turned off the monitor (as usual) and went to bed.

        The next morning the problem was back and whatever I tried I could not make it go away. Grrrr.

        What I fail to understand is why this behavior started after "Windows 11, version 23H2"  was installed at 27/03/2025 AND Microsoft doesn't seem to acknowledge the problem nor fix it. Very frustrating.

        At the same time the "Turn my screen off after" does not work. This is a PC and not a laptop, but that shouldn't make a difference, should it?
