ALWAYS forgetting window position
- Thread starter driver505
- Start date
Another option might be use a different method of startup.
1. Disable or delete the HWiNFO task in Windows Task Scheduler
2. Create a new shortcut for HWiNFO in: \users\<your_username>\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder.
Replace <your_username> with your current user name.
This will however trigger the UAC prompt for Administrator access during start.

Seems now Windows have solution for this problem, what seems working.
1. Go Windows Task Scheduler
2. Open HWinfo64 and go "Triggers" -page.
3. Douple click your trigger what you now use and change that to last option (On workstation unlock).
4. I use 30sec delay to start HWinfo, but i think not needed that for this method.
After that everything seems works ok and hwinfo starts after log-in, not before that if computer idles on login screen and because that second monitor is allready powered on, HWinfo open always seconds monitor.

On my system with 5 displays, HWINFO still always puts the update available pop-up on my little 1080x600 stats display, and after updating, it puts the 3 graphs I have enabled there too, despite unchecking "Validate Windows Positions". In Task Manager I changed "At logon of any user" to "On Workstation Unlock", and deleted the trigger "At system startup". I don't think both triggers were required anyway. I also added a 10-second startup delay. If this works I will report back here. Thanks for the tip!
Edit to add - Windows 10 v22H2 Build 19045.3803. Also, this system uses Display Fusion for wallpaper and taskbar on multiple displays. I wonder if Display Fusion has something to do with it.

I am using Display Fusion Pro. I don't know if it makes the problem better or worse. In my system with 5 displays, I have an image as the wallpaper on 2 displays and a solid color on 3 displays. Display Fusion often gets this mixed up where 1 of the displays with an image ends up with the solid color wallpaper and 1, sometimes 2 of the displays that should have a solid color wallpaper end up with an image. The mix-up happens after booting. Once I fix them, it stays, I have not been able to figure out why it does this.
