BearPearWhy DisplayPort Is Still Better Than HDMI
siftIf I use display port for 2 monitors, when my system sleeps, all of the windows forget where they’ve been placed and I have to move each one back into position.
2x HDMI doesn’t have that issue. Until that changes, display port is unusable for me.
I use DisplayPort for two monitors (not daisychained) and it works, but that’s of no help to you. But perhaps it means there’s something about your setup that isn’t working rather than it being an inherent DP issue.
Uninvited GuestI have a similar issue that when my monitors connected by display port are put to sleep, the computer treats it like they have been disconnected completely - and hence all my windows get shoved around.
This is with a laptop with its screen option, hooked up to a DP monitor by USB C adapter.
I would love to switch to DP but this prevents me.
exscapeIt's mind-boggling to me that this hasn't been fixed (in Windows, I assume?), people have been complaining for years.
It's not inherent to DisplayPort though. Some monitors that suffer from this issue can disable "deep sleep" and have the issue gone even with DisplayPort, but not all monitors allow turning it off.
(And others yet, like my old Acer XB271HU, doesn't have the issue to begin with.)

Never had that issue with DP. Your setup might be the problem.
ShadowThis is a windows bug. Are you still on win10? It’s fixed in 11.
Avoid Annoying Unexpected App Rearrangement – Your PC Can Sleep Without Nightmares - DirectX Developer Blog
Have you ever experienced the frustration of your desktop application windows unexpectedly rearranging every time you return to your computer from sleep? We have on a feature to mitigate this behavior, available in Windows Preview now!
Well I’ll be. Yes, I’m still on Windows 10. I suppose now I have a reason to consider updating.
Not really recommending this downgrade
Install github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/ and it’s better than windows 10.
Helix 🧬Why yes, let me install some untrusted software from Github while I don’t even know what it does!
Juat read the open source code, duh
Or the developers could write a proper readme and at least tell me what the software is for. If you can’t even bother to do that, I’ll gladly miss out on your software. Who knows what other surprises you just ignored.
Here we go
Why can’t this be in the README, which is the first thing you see when.opening the repository? Developers who hide stuff like that don’t make me.want to install.their software.
I totally agree!
Seems like it got proper documentation. I guess you just cope.
I more often I see weird projects that only offer binaries that people just recommend me or even the school, I would rather trust Open Source code that has less documentation than a binary only project with little documentation. I don’t even trust Microsoft binaries. Its always malware because its very malicious to send so much telemetry without asking me
Use Linux then.
What do you think I do
I installed Windows 11 AME on my Windows 11 and generally I hate too much things about it in general, but it has nothing to do with AME, it actually improved the experience by a bit, but Windows still has too many issues to just stay at Win 10
Had the same issue, this utility fixes it. github.com/kangyu-california/PersistentWindows
Works on Linux (gnome)
