SloHand Solo Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I just got a 49" SW curved monitor and absolutely love it!!! CW seems to be getting confused when working with pinned windows though. In the pics you'll see I've got two windows pinned to the sides. If my screens turn off, or I click on a screenset I saved with the split screen or workspace, the windows are no longer pinned to the sides. I have to drag them to the sides again. Something else I've seen in some instances is, when the screens come back on after waking up the monitors, the windows can be all mixed up, I think it's because the main (big) monitor comes on last for some reason. Here's how it should look But this is what it's doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) I run three monitors and have never experienced what you describe. However, when I bring the Studio rig into the office for updates, Cake is only minimally displayed because it's on only one monitor. BTW, Is the curve in the screen really as pronounced as it looks in the pics? t Edited October 20, 2023 by DeeringAmps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SloHand Solo Posted October 20, 2023 Author Share Posted October 20, 2023 I wasn't having any issues when running four, previously. It's happening because I have the windows side by side on the main display, and I don't think CW has the functionality to handle that. It is quite curved and I don't see any warping or distortion. I am really impressed with this! In comparison, the 43" flat screen I was using was horrible! I had to keep bending over to see the sides of the screen!

SloHand Solo Posted October 23, 2023 Author Share Posted October 23, 2023 Found a workaround that works for both sleep and when monitors turn off. If I minimize CW, then put the PC to sleep, the minimized CW windows will stay in place when restored, after I wake it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mettelus Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Turning off monitors will rarely affect things, so that is typically fine to do. However, both sleep and hibernate modes have issues native to Windows (not the DAW), so those are two you should avoid. Windows has never been elegant with sleep/hibernate modes, and has internal functionality that is hard to defeat or even figure out at times (like shutting off hardware/ports that do not come back online as they would from a boot). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sal Sorice Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I've always had issues with Windows not staying in place after monitors are turned off, especially when it's a mix of Display Port and HDMI. I have 3 monitors (actually 3 4k TVs). I am on Win10Pro - not sure how much better Win11 is. This program has been absolutely GREAT for me. Works like a charm. All Windows are ALWAYS where I left them.

Just the description in that alone is awesome! "PersistentWindows helps rectify a well-known and frustrating multi-display bug. This bug changes window positions and size when the monitor display count/resolution adjusts and restores its previous settings." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, on the pop up window there's a choice to save and recall a snapshot, along with the options to save the windows, which I thought was it's functionality anyways.
