Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
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.
Same problem. This is a regression.

I previously used a MacBookPro13,2 and macOS 11.6. The bug was not present on that machine. Application windows would reliably hold their positions across both monitors after wake from sleep.
I recently replaced the MacBookPro13,2 with a MacBookPro18,3 (2021, 14'', M1 Pro) and macOS 12.1 Nothing else was changed. Same monitors. Same cables. Same adapters. The bug is now reliably reproducible.
On wake from sleep, application windows always move to the monitor with the Mac menu bar and dock. Electrical connections between the devices in the diagram above are never disturbed during sleep.
Additional Info - Using Monterey 12.3.1 so it's still happening on the most recent update.
Ditto!
Since you just bought a new machine, I highly recommend that you call support. The more people that do, the more the chance they'll fix this.
Now THAT is a great idea!
I ended up buying Moom! The problem is still there but with one press of a button my apps are lined up like I want it.
early on, there was a workaround posted using finder and hide others. it works pretty well. not as well as an actual solution though
Apple quality has really tanked since Steve Jobs died. And of course, here we sit not being able to get a trivial bug fixed. Kind of shameful.
I just tried the "finder and hide others" approach for two days, sometimes it works, sometimes windows still go out of place (i.e. some windows stayed sometimes, other times still all out of places).
Updated to Monterey 12.4 today. Was hopeful this issue would be fixed... but no. Come on Apple, you're better than this... aren't you? This is really annoying... :(
Thanks for sharing this, but unfortunately it didn't work for me. Still getting windows positioned in the left bottom corner after waking up the Mac.
Follow this tutorial!
After this stupid change everything WORKS!
THANKS carnartuc!!!!
I actually tried this tutorial in the first place, to calibrate external monitors, but does not work as well.
Tried this today. No luck also.
Not fixed here in 12.5 :(

Try reading my 2 previous comments. I know for a fact the procedures work on my 3 Eizo 32" monitors.
You might find the solution will work for your Samsung monitor too.
Monterey seems to not remember which display should show which windows after sleep wakeup
