![]() ![]() I never assumed this happens to everyone with multimonitor setup. on fresh copy of MacOS installation, on a brand new Mac). That of course isn’t to say windows managers are exonerated, but it means that irrespective of whether windows manager can independently cause this problem, it could happen without a windows manager (i.e. So I would feel quite confident in ruling it out as the culprit. So this happened even before I wouldn’t started bothering with, and installing, my first windows manager. If the monitor wake time was the issue, pulling the hdmi cable out should cause this problem 100% of the time.Īnyway speaking of windows manager, I can’t remembre now since it’s been a while since I moved on from this issue after giving up on solving it, but my recollection is that the very reason why I started to research Mac windows managers was this problem. I can pull out the hdmi cable connected to one monitor, plug it back in after a little while, and I will see all windows restored to where they should be and how they should look. Now, unlike what I had thought when I posted the OP, After months of observation and experience, I now see that this probably isn’t even related to the monitor wake time. Well sure, it could be some really incomprehensible something going on inside the blackbox that’s causing it. This still requires me to move my windows to the top monitor from the bottom monitor and rearrange them one by one, especially if my preferred positioning is not predefined in the utility (and I also know there are paid window rearrangement utilities where you can customize window size and location, but all of that still requires you to select each window every time Mac wakes and apply the pre-set window configuration, one by one) And yes I know there is an app that keeps Mac awake. Yes, I am using window management utility (Rectangle) and I know there are quite a few of these types of utilities out there. Really takes a lot away from my workflow. ![]() Is there a third-party utility or any other solution to this issue? I can't spend so much time and attention rearranging the windows to exactly my liking so many times every day anymore. I can't be the only person out there with a multimonitor setup on Mac. Pretty shocking given Mac's reputation for "just working", but this really takes a lot from the UX perspective for me as recent new Mac user. So apparently it's a known issue, has been known for at least years, and Apple doesn't find it important enough to do anything about it. This is exactly the same issue that's being discussed here: ![]() ![]() This means I need to rearrange the windows every time Mac wakes up from sleep. The issue is that every time the Mac goes to sleep, or I restart the computer or monitors are turned off, all the open windows are dumped into my main monitor. I like having my email client, Finder and a couple of other apps open on the top monitor all the time and using the bottom monitor as the main display. Follow the instructions below to change the external display settings.I have a Mac Mini with two stacked ultrawide monitors. Windows uses the term Duplicate instead of Mirroring. To turn on (or off) Desktop Mirror click the small icon of a monitor on the upper right side of the menu bar and select Turn On Mirroring Changing the Desktop Mirroring Setting Windows – Change External Display Mode In Extend Mode the external display is treated as a separate screen so that you can have a different windows open on the projector and desktop. It is easy to switch between the two settings. In Mirror Mode the computer monitor duplicates the monitor on the external display so that you see the same picture on both the desktop and projector. When connected to an external display, Mac and Windows computers have two different display modes: Mirror and Extend. ![]()
