Michelle Xiong, Program Manager of the graphics design team at Microsoft, explains: 'The technical term we use to describe this issue is Rapid Hot Plug Detect (Rapid HPD). This behavior affects multiple DisplayPort setups, leading to unwanted screen rearrangement.'
Microsoft addresses Windows 10 app rearrangement on screens
This issue becomes particularly troublesome if you're using a laptop with an external monitor or additional screen transitioning to Sleep mode. Windows will relocate all your apps to a different position on the screen (sometimes grouping apps onto one screen), and you'll have to manually drag all the app windows back to their original position. It's truly headache-inducing if you encounter this problem daily.
According to the latest Mytour news update, Microsoft has been working to prevent Rapid HPD from rearranging Windows apps, and the bug fix will be released alongside a major Windows 10 update expected later this year. Windows Insider users can now access this bug fix as long as they are using Windows 10 version 21287 or higher.
Recently, information about the upcoming Windows 11 operating system has surfaced. To find out more about the truth behind these rumors, check out the detailed information in the article below.
