I've got a really odd problem that I can't seem to get to the bottom of. Here's the setup:
- Dell XPS 13 9380
- Intel UHD Graphics 620
- Windows 10 18363.592
- Dell WD19TB Dock
- XPS 13 connected via Thunderbolt port
- 2 x LG 27UL600
- #1 connected to WD19TB USB-C/DisplayPort with USB-C to DisplayPort cable
- #2 connected to WD19TB Thunderbolt port with USB-C to DisplayPort cable
- Both running 3480 x 2160 @ 59Hz with display scaling of 150%
The problem:
When the system is put to sleep, upon resume, all of the windows move themselves onto the primary display. This is incredibly annoying.
My initial thoughts...
Were that the displays weren't waking up quickly enough or disconnecting during the sleep/resume cycle - I've tried a few things based on research of other's similar issues such as deleting registry keys etc but nothing made a difference.
A curious revelation:
When I change the display scaling to 100%, everything works perfectly, the displays resume, and the windows are where I left them!
Obviously keeping the scaling at 100% isn't practical on a 27" 4K monitor, so does anybody have any ideas? Why is scaling to 150% causing this to happen upon resume?
NB. The previous setup was 3 x 1080p, DisplayPort/DisplayPort/HDMI - all working perfectly until the monitor upgrade. And for the record all firmware/drivers etc are up to date and installed correctly.

, and Dell screens. And I have the same bug on an Intel CPU desktop system. I don't think this is related to desktop/mobile. It's probably something with Windows, the screens, scaling, and/or the GPU driver. My solution was the longest time to just not putting the computer to sleep. But want to save power.
