How to Make Windows 10 Remember Window Size and Position
Windows 10 is a versatile and user-friendly operating system, but one common frustration for many users is the lack of automatic window size and position saving. By default, Windows 10 does not remember the size and position of windows when you close them. This can be quite cumbersome, especially if you frequently work with multiple applications at once. However, with a few simple steps, you can make Windows 10 remember window size and position, improving your productivity and overall experience. In this article, we will guide you through the process of enabling this feature.
Step 1: Enable “Remember Window Size, Position, and Zoom Level”
The first step to making Windows 10 remember window size and position is to enable the “Remember Window Size, Position, and Zoom Level” feature. To do this, follow these instructions:
1. Right-click on the taskbar and select “Taskbar settings” from the context menu.
2. In the “Taskbar” settings window, scroll down and click on “Use small taskbar buttons.”
3. Under the “Taskbar” section, you will find an option called “Use small taskbar buttons.” Toggle this option to the “On” position.
4. Scroll down further and click on “Taskbar behavior.”
5. In the “Taskbar behavior” settings, you will find an option called “Use small taskbar buttons.” Toggle this option to the “On” position.
6. Scroll down and click on “Multiple displays.”
7. In the “Multiple displays” settings, you will find an option called “When a new window is opened, minimize the previous window.” Toggle this option to the “Off” position.
8. Scroll down and click on “Taskbar location on screen.”
9. In the “Taskbar location on screen” settings, you will find an option called “Use small taskbar buttons.” Toggle this option to the “On” position.
Step 2: Set the “Save settings on exit” option
After enabling the “Remember Window Size, Position, and Zoom Level” feature, you need to set the “Save settings on exit” option to ensure that Windows 10 remembers the size and position of windows. To do this, follow these instructions:
1. Open an application or window you want to remember the size and position for.
2. Right-click on the title bar of the window and select “Properties” from the context menu.
3. In the “Properties” window, go to the “Behavior” tab.
4. Check the box next to “Save settings when closing the document.”
5. Click “OK” to save the changes.
Step 3: Test the feature
Now that you have enabled the “Remember Window Size, Position, and Zoom Level” feature and set the “Save settings on exit” option, it’s time to test the feature. Close the application or window you set the properties for, and then reopen it. You should notice that the window opens with the same size and position as before, as well as the zoom level you last used.
By following these simple steps, you can make Windows 10 remember window size and position, enhancing your productivity and reducing the frustration of repositioning windows each time you open them.
