I have a 2 display setup. I move some Safari windows to one screen. After waking up from sleep, all windows are on one screen and the second is empty. This is on an M1 mini.
New Mac Studio (currently 12.3.1), with 2 Dell P2715Q screens, both attached with USB-C -> mDP cables. Had a session with Apple Support, they ran through every debugging thing they could think of, no fix. Apple Support said it is a bug and they are working on it. So... one day we will see it fixed I guess. Until then, there is Moom to the rescue. If you want to try, I got Apples attention by tweeting to their Twitter AppleSupport channel.
A couple of things to note. Moom does work for me! But, I needed to do an extra to get it to work. After installing Moom, and setting up my application windows they way I want, I created a snapshot in Moom. Then, I updated the snapshot while holding the option key down. After doing this, I can now quickly reset the position of my apps to the secondary screen with my shortcut. Hope this helps someone else.
Thanks for everyone 's feed back
Problem still occurs:
I have MacBook Pro 16 with 64 GB Ram, 8 TB SSD Name plus 2 LG UHG 4k monitors and Monterey 12.5. Will the apple moderator of this chat jump in and provide answers. This is very frustrating to have to arrange the windows and I have 30-50 windows opened. Taking a break should be OK and Apple please advice
Thanks
Me too on my new MBP 16 as well
I have the same problem, Mac 16" M1 Monterey with 2 extra screens on usb C : all my windows are messed up when I wake up my mac or even when I unlock it... :(
What do you mean updating rectagle. Could you elaborate, please
Exactly. Big Sur did not have the. It is a Monterey thing which sould be turned back.
EDIT: I was wrong after Rectangle update. Still happening after restart.
I tried Rectangle too. It worked for a hot minute, but then the screens went back to the same old thing. C'mon Apple, let's get this stuff fixed please.
Bump
Still a problem. Apple, please fix!
I appreciate the suggestion, but manually putting the computer to sleep nor installing Rectangle have changed this behavior, unfortunately. Maybe works on some computers but not mine.
same problem, MBP16 with 2 external LG 27UL850 displays
I am having the same issue with my new M1 16'' mbp.
The windows collapse to the same virtual desktop every time my laptop sleeps or when I switch users.
Leaving this comment to rise the thread.
I tried that over the weekend (14MBP M1Max) but still getting windows all gathered back on the main monitor/desktop 1 on wake as well.
That is weird as it definitely works for me. Do you have any other programs running in the background or other program which tries to control screen?
Anyone reverted to BigSur?
Monterey seems to not remember which display should show which windows after sleep wakeup
