    Get Hyper-V or RDT to remember size and location of VM window


    Every time i use RDT to connect to a Hyper-V VM, it connects at this size and location:

    I then resize and re-position the window to this:

    Get Hyper-V or RDT to remember size and location of VM window-desktop-rdt-hyper-v-vm-2.jpg

    How do I get RDT or Hyper-v or Win 10 to remember the size and location so I don't have to do this every time I connect to the VM?

    Hi there
    doesn't RDT/RDP have a "Connections" type thing where it remembers settings of connections.

    For example --I'm using an "RDP" equivalent on a Linux Laptop to connect to a Windows Virtual machine running on another host on my LAN

    I'm sure Windows RDP connections (i.e FROM a Windows Machine) has similar settings to remember previous sessions.

    Cheers

    Hi there

    Not sure -- but isn't that a basic function of Windows -- when starting an application (standard one) doesn't Windows have a default Windows size - presumably this is "settable" somewhere --I've no idea. E.g start EXCEL in windowed mode.

    Other parameters such as "RDT native screen size" etc are surely held within the application itself either via a config type of file or internally somewhere.

    All I know is on a KDE Linux desktop If I re-size a windowed app , move it, close it and then re-open it appears on the desktop in the same place and size as it had when I closed it --e.g after re-size and move.

    Isn't that how Windowed OS'es and desktops are supposed to work ? - Whatever the OS or GUI.

    Example here

    I moved and re-sized the card games on my desktop. Closed and re-opened. It appears same size and in same place where I closed it.

    Of course though a re-boot of the HOST re-sets everything back to default.
