The Best Window Position Manager for Windows 10 & 11

If you work with multiple applications on Windows and find yourself constantly rearranging windows every time you restart your computer, dock your laptop, or switch between tasks, you need a window position manager. PositionPro is built specifically for this.

Why You Need a Window Position Manager

Windows 10 and Windows 11 don't let you save where you put your application windows and bring that layout back. A restart, a monitor change or a new login can scatter your carefully arranged desktop. You end up spending time dragging and resizing windows instead of working.

A window position manager solves this by saving where each window is positioned and restoring those positions when you need them. Once your layout is saved, PositionPro restores it automatically.

What Makes PositionPro Different

Most window management tools focus on tiling or snapping. PositionPro focuses on remembering. Save where each application window goes, and PositionPro puts it back there every time you open it.

• Automatic position saving — Turn on Auto Save and each window's position is saved when you close it, with no save button to press.
• Per-application positions — Each app gets its own saved position, size, and maximised state. Open Notepad and it goes to the right spot. Open Chrome and it goes to its spot.
• Desktop profiles — Different window layouts for different tasks. A "Work" profile, a "Personal" profile, a "Presentation" profile. Switch between them with a hotkey.
• Multi-monitor auto-detection — Docking and undocking your laptop automatically switches to the correct profile for that monitor setup.
• App launching — When you switch profiles, PositionPro launches any applications that aren't already running and positions them.
• Built-in snap layouts — Side-by-side, stacked, three columns, or quadrants. New windows auto-fill empty slots.

Common Use Cases

Multi-Monitor Desktop Setups

If you use two or three monitors, you know the pain of Windows rearranging everything when a monitor disconnects or after a restart. PositionPro saves per-monitor layouts and restores them, even after display configuration changes.

Laptop Docking and Undocking

When you dock your laptop at work, you want one layout. When you're on the go with just the laptop screen, you want another. Assign a profile to each setup once, and PositionPro detects the monitor change and applies the right profile automatically. No manual switching needed.

Workflow Switching

Switch between a "coding" layout (editor on the left, terminal on the right, browser on the second monitor) and a "communication" layout (email, Teams, calendar) with a single keyboard shortcut. Each profile remembers exactly where every window goes.

After Restarts and Updates

Windows updates love to rearrange your desktop. With PositionPro's startup profile feature, your saved apps open and your windows go back to their saved positions when you log in.

How PositionPro Works

PositionPro runs as a lightweight system tray application. It uses the Windows API to remember where each application's window goes. When a window opens, PositionPro checks if there's a saved position for that application and moves it there automatically.

All configuration is stored locally in JSON files on your computer. There is no cloud sync, no account creation and no analytics, and after the first start no internet connection is needed. The application uses minimal system resources and has very little impact on system performance.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Power users can do the main things from the keyboard:

• Ctrl+Alt+S — Save all current window positions
• Ctrl+Alt+R — Restore all windows to saved positions
• Ctrl+Alt+1 to 9 — Switch directly to a numbered profile
