windows move off screen after sleep

I have had this problem for years. About 4 years ago I bought 4 different monitors to test, etc, etc. The best monitor, which is the one I chose, would not hold the position of ANY application I placed on it. When the computer (This was my macbook pro) would sleep, ALL open widows would reorganize back to the main screen. I contacted apple support and of course, not their problem and then they blamed it on the monitor. Called the monitor company and of course, they blamed it on the computer. I am an IT guy and a programmer and I can almost 100% guarantee it is the OS and window management system. Fast forward to this week 11/25/21, I have had this M1 Mac Mini for 1 year now and I love it. I chose to do the latest OS upgrade to Monterey last Friday and ever since then, EVERY window on every external monitor I have moves to the main monitor after being awoke from sleep. This is OBVIOUSLY the OS and not the monitors. I have been using the exact same hardware for over 1 year now and not one thing has changed except for the OS. Do I expect Apple to do anything, oh **** no, but I just wanted others to know that this is a real problem and Apple doesn't care because they can't figure it out either, so they just blame the monitor(s). Happy computing!
