Windows 11 Suddenly Started to Resize and Move my Open Windows Position
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:
- Disable "Snap Windows":
- Go to Settings > System > Multitasking.
- Turn off "Snap windows" to stop Windows from automatically repositioning your open windows.
- 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.
- Disable "Snap Windows":

Agree with Morphie, this is not resolved. Here is my experience:
Single 32:9 wide screen monitor on DP. Resolution is the recommended, Scale is the recommended. Snap is enabled and used all day without issue. When the monitor goes to sleep and is woken up I see the initial login screen reload in the top-left of the screen, maybe 1080p, it's hard to tell, but after a second or two it resizes back to the 32:9 at 1440p. It is absolutely loading the desktop in the wrong resolution. It reminds me of what happens if I've used my phone or tablet to RDP to my desktop between uses or if there were a screensaver loading full screen at a different resolution and when I return it has to switch the monitor resolution back, except that in those cases the screen is centered and stretched or centered with black bars, with the current issue it is loading a much smaller resolution in the top left corner.
I have the same issue with single monitor, connected with DP. Started happening a few days ago, maybe a week, and windows which were left open when computer went to sleep, are resized and moved to top left corner.
Disabling Snap windows didn't help. Other display settings are what they are supposed to be.
