    If I use display port for 2 monitors, when my system sleeps, all of the windows forget where they’ve been placed and I have to move each one back into position. 2x HDMI doesn’t have that issue. Until that changes, display port is unusable for me.

        I have a similar issue that when my monitors connected by display port are put to sleep, the computer treats it like they have been disconnected completely - and hence all my windows get shoved around.

        This is with a laptop with its screen option, hooked up to a DP monitor by USB C adapter.

        I would love to switch to DP but this prevents me.

        Well I’ll be. Yes, I’m still on Windows 10. I suppose now I have a reason to consider updating.

              Why yes, let me run some untrusted software as admin from Github patching a central part of my OS while I don’t even know what it does!

                  Or the developers could write a proper readme and at least tell me what the software is for. If you can’t even bother to do that, I’ll gladly miss out on your software. Who knows what other surprises you just ignored.

                    Seems like it got proper documentation. I guess you just cope.

                    I more often I see weird projects that only offer binaries that people just recommend me or even the school, I would rather trust Open Source code that has less documentation than a binary only project with little documentation. I don’t even trust Microsoft binaries. Its always malware because its very malicious to send so much telemetry without asking me

            I installed Windows 11 AME on my Windows 11 and generally I hate too much things about it in general, but it has nothing to do with AME, it actually improved the experience by a bit, but Windows still has too many issues to just stay at Win 10

      It’s mind-boggling to me that this hasn’t been fixed (in Windows, I assume?), people have been complaining for years.
      It’s not inherent to DisplayPort though. Some monitors that suffer from this issue can disable “deep sleep” and have the issue gone even with DisplayPort, but not all monitors allow turning it off.
      (And others yet, like my old Acer XB271HU, doesn’t have the issue to begin with.)
