Intel NUC: windows resized after waking from sleep

System: Intel NUC 54250WYKH
Monitor: Acer T232HL (1920x1080)
OS: Windows 10 Pro (clean install)

When my NUC wakes from sleep mode, existing windows are sized and positioned as if the display resolution had changed to a much lower value (e.g. 1024x768) during sleep but was restored to 1920x1080 after waking. The windows are smaller and positioned in the upper-left corner of the display. This happens with any program I have running when the system goes to sleep (e.g. File Explorer, Visual Studio 2015, etc.).

This problem didn't happen with Win8 on the same computer.

Is anyone else seeing a similar problem and/or know of a fix?
Thanks

I'm having the same problem on a Thinkpad T450s. It happens when I open the lid to restart the computer. It doesn't happen when I put the computer to sleep via the start menu. Very, very annoying. Would be great if someone has an idea how to fix this. I did a complete and clean reinstall of Win10 via the Media Creation Tool, and the problem is persisting.


EDIT: It doesn't happen to metro apps however. Or not to the Settings app, which is the only one I use...
It also only happens to windows which are neither fullscreen nor snapped to one side.

I haven't found a fix for it yet. I don't use any Metro apps so I haven't seen how they perform.

what iv learned about this issue for the past few years is this...
yes its drivers - but it's also windows and monitor hardware... so one side fix may not be the entire answer.
the only way i've been able to solve the issue is with a "deadhead" or dummy plug with an output to a real monitor.
if you do a search for - Virtual Display Adapter HDMI EDID Dummy Plug - you'll get your fix.
a small simple plug that goes in line with the monitor plug and keeps the "line" alive even when the monitor goes off / gets unplugged or otherwise.
in my scenario everything worked fine until i awoke my screens (i have 5 on my setup) and one would be "re-found" every time, and reset my window positions...after the plug everything works perfect.

they sell for as high as $20 each but i found them on e-Bay for under $10. with many options for what plug type needed - vga, hdmi, dvi, displayport.

hope this helps someone as iv been dealing with it for years and finally can sleep at night knowing my powersave is working...lol

Can you explain it please detailed? I have found different Dummy plugs, but they are separate plugs with "dead end", so I cannot mount my monitor on the graphic card when I use your dummy plug. For example I have an Nvidia Geforce 1660 Super: 1 DVI port, 1 HDMI port and 1 Displayport... When I plug a HDMI-Dummy-plug in --> I cannot plug my Monitor to this HDMI connector on my graphic card.
Can you explain please how did you do it? I am desprerate.
Thanks a lot!
