When I come back the next day, all my windows are on the laptop onboard display, and if I'm lucky, resized in a way that makes them movable. If I'm unlucky, I need to close the application, re-open it, and hope it's back in a helpful way.
The 2x 4K panels show me my wallpaper every morning. They don't show me any windows that were on them.
"intuitive" is in the eye of the beholder.
Still a very stupid problem to have to solve.
You can ask Windows to try and remember the location. It's not fool proof, but it works 90% of the time.
In fact, I've got more issues with windows opening on a non-connected screen (and then having to do Winkey + right a couple of times until it shows up on my laptop screen.
I don't know how you expect that machine to know that you're only disabling that monitor temporarily and you expect it to restore your windows at some future time when it reconnects.
If you plug in a new monitor, should windows jump onto it spontaneously?
And searching for 'Dock screen wakes up during sleep' just floods <search engine> with 'screen does not wake up after sleep'. And with <search engine>'s removal of respecting + and -, I am not sure I'll ever find a solution...
