Screensets, Workspace, and PC wake-up having issues with split-screen display

[SloHand Solo]

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

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?

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!

Make sure your screensets aren't locked before changing anything

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.

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).

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.  See this link (note: MajorGeeks is a well-known and respected site):

Thanks for posting this. 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."

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.
