Desktop arrangement lost after waking from sleep

MacOS Monterey 12.2.1 / MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021) / Apple M1 Pro


I have two additional monitors (BenQ PD2725U Displays) and the multiple display setup works fine.

On display #3 there are three "Desktops" each devoted to a different app.


After the system wakes from sleep, the Desktops from #3 all switch to display #2, and all the application windows on display #3 migrate to display #1.


It's disruptive and time-wasting to have to re-set my workflow configuration every time. I've resorted to disabling all the energy saving features. Can anyone recommend a fix?

I just got the new Macbook Pro M1 MAX and this is so ANNOYING. Every time I turn my computer on or wake it up, reboot it, whatever all my screens have a mind of their own and swap around on my desktops and screens and randomly too. Sometimes they split up on the same monitor but different desktops. Sometimes they mostly go to the other monitor. Then at times just 1 or 2 are randomly off...


This has NEVER happened before to me in all the years using MAC. It's one of the Magic things Apple does that Windows will never do. Re-open windows EXACTLY where they were. How is this not getting fixed???


Crazy!!! Takes so much time every time I wake my MacBook Pro M1 MAX and have to re-org my screens.


PLEASE FIX
