Finder Window - Remember Size and Location

How do I force MacOS Sequoia to remember the size and location of the Finder Window? Thanks.

Generally, the window should open in the last place it was open before. I just tested this with a Finder window. I move it to the lower right corner, closed it and opened it again (command - N). It was in the same place it was before I closed it. I don't know if this persists beyond a restart. I rarely restart my computer.


If you switch to a different desktop, the window will open in where ever it was last closed on that desktop.

I am going CRAZY because Sequoia 15.1.1 WON'T REMEMBER the sizes and locations of windows! I have tried the "adjust the size" but that does nothing. I close the window of any given drive and open it back and it is not the place or size that I just adjusted it to. Why? I have an M1 Mac Mini with 16GB. It is updated to the latest OS. But since at least one major OS back this has been a problem. Please tell me how this can be fixed! I am hoping my brand new M4 Pro isn't going to suffer from this issue but I'm not getting my hopes too high.


Please fix it!
