Forums -> UltraMon™ -> win7 x64: after unlocking the computer, all windows have moved to primary monitor

Hi,

I am running a two monitor, win 7 x64 setup.

This is a business setup, so my machine locks after 15 minutes of non-use.

Most of the time, when I unlock the computer, all of the windows that were on the secondary monitor have moved to the primary monitor. The moved windows retain the size and shape that they had on the secondary monitor, where they were maximized. The primary monitor is larger, in pixels (1920 x 1200)versus the secondary (1280x1024 - rotated 90 degrees)

I think there is an interaction that is time dependent. I can lock and immediately unlock my computer without an issue. I suspect that after 15 minutes, my screen saver kicks in and interacts with the lock feature. I have a simple screen saver that just blanks the screen. For security reasons, I can't disable the screen saver, as it drives the lock feature.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Forrest

So far I haven't been able to reproduce this issue, are you sure this is related to UltraMon? To confirm this, check if you still have the problem without UltraMon running.

I tested on 64-bit Windows 7 with the Blank screen saver, wait set to 1 minute and 'On resume, display logon screen' checked.

I actually have the same problem without having UltraMon installed since I unfortunately don't have administrator privilages.
I am locking my computer (Win 7 x64) and if I unlock right afterwards the windows stay on their monitor. However if the duration is longer, all windows are on the main monitor (the resolution though is no problem).
Were you able to fin a solution for this issue somehow?
