Minimizing to the wrong screen [#22210]

[MPG]

Hi, Whenever I minimize MMW it always minimizes to the top left of my main display. Is this the default behavior? By default, I believe it should minimize to the last screen is was minimized on or at least minimize the screen it was last used on.

Running
MMW: 2024.2.2.3222

Windows:
Edition Windows 11 Home
Version 25H2
Installed on ‎2026-‎05-‎22
OS build 26200.8655
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.315.0
With 2 monitors

Can you please clarify what you man with minimize to the top left? Do you mean the window movement on Minimize is to the top left (is that where your Taskbar is?)?
Are you using identical monitors and monitor settings or 2 different monitors with different monitor settings?

Hey Lowlander!
Let me explain further:
I have MMW set to minimize to the miniplayer. When I click the minimize button ( - ), it always minimizes to the top left corner of my main monitor.

I do have two different monitors but have the same settings: 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz, 8-bit, One is HDMI, the other is VGA (please don't criticize )

Ah, that is a different thing, and explains it.

Does this continue after moving the MiniPlayer to the correct monitor, or does it temporarily work as expected and eventually go to the wrong monitor, or does it always open on the wrong monitor.

Has the main window been switched between monitors while it was running?

For me, on 2027 though, it works as expected and the MiniPlayer is opened on the last used location.

It always minimizes to the wrong monitor.

I end up moving to the location that I want it. Then something will come up as I'm working on the computer, and I'll maximize MMW, do whatever needed to be done, then minimize it again (which goes back to the top left of the main monitor).

I've included a reference to this in this bug: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=22210

On 2027 this was only partially reproducible.
