For whatever reason, certain DisplayPort-connected monitors continue to cause Windows to exhibit the unwanted window moving/resizing behavior.

The other part of the solution to this problem is to avoid DisplayPort.

Find all entries inside the Monitors section that have a grayed out or light-colored icon and delete them (in the screenshot above, that would be the first two “CB272U” entries).

Open the Device Manager by right-clicking the Start button and selecting Device Manager.

In order to avoid this issue, you need to remove all the monitors that no longer exist. Because multiple monitors are no longer detected, all windows are moved to the one “active” monitor, and sometimes resized if that monitor’s resolution is too low. As your PC goes to sleep and monitors are seen as disconnected, Windows doesn’t know which monitors are valid any more and just chooses one - possibly the first one registered.

Searching online yielded many interesting results, from Registry tweaks to updating drivers to putting tape on certain HDMI pins in order to prevent monitors entering deep sleep. Unfortunately, after replacing them, I discovered that all of my windows would move to the primary monitor and occasionally resize when my computer entered sleep mode. I just replaced my home dual monitor setup with two newer, 75Hz monitors (that, incidentally, aren’t actively dying on me).
