Forums -> UltraMon™ -> After "Switch user" 2nd monitor windows move to 1st monitor

UltraMon 3.0.8, Windows 7, dual monitor

When returning from "Switch user", having done some work at another account, all windows from my second monitor suddenly have moved to my first monitor. Also some windows are resized to a smaller height.

It looks like UltraMon seems to have lost notice of the second monitor temporarily when re-entering the session after "Switch user". Ultramon than re-activates the taskbar on the second monitor, but fails to restore the position of the windows that were present on the second monitor before I switched to my other account.

Is this a bug in UltraMon 3.0.8 ?

This is handled by Windows, but Windows seems to have a problem with the additional taskbars added by UltraMon, disabling the Smart Taskbar fixes the problem.

I'm going to look into this for a future release, but don't know yet if a solution is possible.

Forgot to mention a workaround for this, you could manually save/restore window positions with the Save/RestoreWndPos scripts.

I had the same problem until I chose Auto-Hide for the Smart Taskbar.
