Automatically Save and Restore Window Positions on Sleep/Resume

January 29, 2016
Some types of HDMI monitors, and most DisplayPort monitors will be "disconnected" from the computer when powered off or when entering sleep mode. This causes Windows to do a full display re-detection on sleep and resume, which repositions open application windows.
DisplayFusion is able to save your window positions before the system sleeps and restore them when it wakes. The steps below describe how to achieve this with DisplayFusion:
Note:
If your system is not set to lock on sleep or screen saver, the window positions won't be automatically restored when resuming from sleep or screen saver.
  • Right-click the DisplayFusion icon and click "Settings."
    Tray Menu - Settings
  • Select the "Triggers" tab, then enable the "Enable Triggers" checkbox.
    Enable Triggers
  • Click the "Add" button.
    Add Trigger
  • Click the "Event" dropdown and select "System Idle."
    System Idle
  • In the "Idle Timeout (sec)" field, add the time in seconds less one minute of the time your monitors/system is configured to sleep. (e.g. If monitors are set to sleep after 10 minutes, set the Idle Timeout to "540")
    Timeout
  • In the "Actions" area, click "Add" and select "Run Function."
    Run Function
  • In the pop-up, select "Save Window Positions" and click "OK."
    Save Windows Positions
  • Click "OK" to save the Trigger rule.
  • Click the "Add" button again.
  • For the "Event" dropdown, select "Desktop Unlocked."
  • Click "Add," then click "Wait," entering "5000" in the text field. Click "OK." If the 5000 ms wait is working well, you can try reducing that to speed up the restore time.
  • Wait
    5000
  • Click "Add" again, this time clicking "Run Function" and selecting "Restore Window Positions From Last Save." Click "OK."
  • Run Function
    Restore Window Positions
  • Click "OK" to save the Trigger rule.
  • You'll see your newly-added Triggers with a green background, indicating they are enabled.
    Triggers
    To manually load the positions, assign a key combination to the "Restore Window Positions From Last Save" function. Follow these steps, if needed:
  • Select the "Functions" tab in DisplayFusion's Settings window, select the function "Restore Window Positions From Last Save," then click "Edit."
    Edit Function
  • Select your modifiers and enter a key, then click "OK."
    Key Combination
  • You'll see your Key Combination in the column next to the Function. Click "Apply" to finalize your changes.
    Save Changes
  • Click "OK" to apply the DisplayFusion Settings.

Working with Triggers

DisplayFusion Triggers are a powerful and versatile way to automate your window management tasks. This document details the configuration options for Triggers and showcases several examples.
To navigate to DisplayFusion's Triggers, right-click on the DisplayFusion tray icon and click "Settings."

/LANG=en

When deploying via Group Policy Software Installation, you absolutely must use the included MST (transform) file on the Modifications tab, otherwise the installation will never complete.


The following MSI properties are especially useful for deployments. Any of the properties below can be included in an MST (transform) file if deploying via Group Policy. If you create your own MST file, you must include the CUSTOM1="/VERYSILENT", and LAUNCHAFTER=0 properties for deploying the MSI through Group Policy Software Installation.
