Steps to reproduce

I used the Launch editor to create a workspace. Opened and positioned all my apps and saved it. It works great. Saved a shortcut to my Taskbar. Scenario 1 works as expected.

  • Scenario 1 as follows
  • Turn on computer, click on icon in task bar, apps all open and go to where I set them up. Use computer all day. Closed all windows on computer and put it to sleep. Next day, Awaken computer, click icon in taskbar, all apps open as expected and all apps are in the monitors where I originally set them up.
  • Scenario 2 doesn't work as I expect.
  • Scenario 2 as follows
  • Turn on computer, click on icon in task bar, apps all open and go to where I set them up. Use computer all day. Moved a bunch of the windows because there was glare coming in my window from the sun so I moved the apps to a different monitor so I could see the screen. Closed all windows on computer and put it to sleep. Next day, Awaken computer, click icon in taskbar, all apps open as expected BUT all go to where I left them the day before, NOT to where I set them up in the editor. All the correct apps opened, but they just didn't go to where I expected them.

✔️ Expected Behavior

I expected the window to always go to where I set them up in Workspaces even though I may have moved them throughout the day.

❌ Actual Behavior

Windows went to where I last used them.
