I'm currently having problem with a computer with a four-monitor setup. Sometimes (few times a day), after the display turns back on (after being turned off - set to automatically happen after 10 minutes), the apps will have moved to the bottom two monitors (a square layout). Does this have to do with those two monitors being "turned on" first? Some of the apps even seem to move off all four monitors, showing they are somewhere off monitor to the right (you can tell by how it flies off that way when the application is opened via task bar).

Also having a bit of trouble with icons, but I've tried turning off the grid option. If this doesn't work I'll just have it load a profile on wake, no biggie. The problem is that all of the applications are precisely placed, and moving them a few times a day is a chore.

Thank you for any help.

Update: Set Windows so that it wouldn't turn off the display, but applications are still moving.

After seeing all the posts mentioning problems with Nvidia, I should probably note that both cards I'm using are Nvidia GeForce. Still, it doesn't seem to be the same problem that others mentioned before.

Sometimes the apps will move to different taskbars, and other times icons will move to random positions as well.

Yeah, that's how I'm handling the icons, no problems there.

That was my first assumption when I heard of the problem; but the user is never switched out, the monitor display doesn't turn off (anymore), it doesn't go to screensaver. It does seem that it happens when it hasn't been used in a while, but I can't think of any mode that it would be entering that I haven't turned off yet that would be making the difference. Is there any kind of automatic refresh that would be happening?

Thank you for the help : )

I wish I could give you a more precise time of exactly when it happened, but all I can say for sure is that it was sometime between when logging was started (4:15 PM) and 4:43 PM. The icons and applications were both moved.

When we first got DisplayFusion, only the icons would move (which was when we found out about the profiles). It's only been the last two weeks (roughly) that it started moving applications. It doesn't do both all the time, either; sometimes it only moves the applications, sometimes the applications and the icons. Very odd.

There haven't been any problems with moving applications or icons since I uninstalled the Lenovo Power Manager. Since this was occurring daily, and we've gone around two days without any problems at all, I'm going to optimistically state that this fixed the issue.

Thank you very much! You prevented multiple headaches, and it feels good to finally know what was going on.

Hi sorry to use an old link but I have an almost identical problem i.e. 4 monitor setup with applications moving around (usually when the monitors go into sleep mode)

Are you able to point me in the right direction with the attached log?

Thanks
Mike

OK great thanks Keith that worked a treat.

One other issue which I'm sure you get asked a lot (but despite searching I haven't found the solution to yet)....... I understand how to open Outlook itself but not the "sub windows"i.e. a new task or calendar entry. How can I ensure these open in a designated monitor? I would like to open in one of my "split" monitors i.e. monitor #4.2.

Cheers
