The issue you're facing with Windows not remembering window size and position is a common one. Typically, Windows should remember the size and position of windows when you reopen them. However, if this functionality is not working properly, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Update Windows: Make sure your Windows operating system is up to date. Sometimes, updating Windows can resolve various bugs and issues.
2. Check Application Settings: Some applications have their own settings for window size and position. Check within the application's settings to see if there are options related to window size and position.
3. Reset Folder View Settings: Windows uses folder settings to remember window positions. You can try resetting folder view settings for a specific folder. Here's how you can do it:
   • Open the folder whose view settings you want to reset.
   • Go to the "View" tab on the File Explorer toolbar.
   • Click on "Options" and then select "Change folder and search options."
   • In the "Folder Options" window, go to the "View" tab and click on "Reset Folders."
4. Registry Edit: You can also try editing the registry to reset window size and position settings. However, editing the registry can be risky if not done correctly. Here are the steps to edit the registry:
   • Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
   • Type regedit and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
   • Navigate to the following key:

      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop

   • Right-click on the Streams key and select Delete.
   • Restart your computer after making this change. Always remember to back up your registry before making any changes. It's important to note that Microsoft continuously updates Windows to address various issues and improve user experience. You can also check for any official updates or patches related to this problem. If the issue persists, it's possible that Microsoft is aware of it and may provide a fix in future updates.
