## What it is
A Windows utility that persists and automatically restores window positions and sizes when monitor configurations change, such as display connect/disconnect, resolution changes, system wake, or RDP reconnections. It is a maintained fork of the original ninjacrab PersistentWindows tool with Windows 10/11 support.

## Use cases
- restore window positions after monitor disconnect reconnect
- keep desktop layout after RDP session with different displays
- windows moved after waking from sleep fix
- remember window positions across reboots
- restore taskbar position after resolution change
- save and restore desktop layout snapshots
- reopen windows at their last closing position

## When to choose
- you use multiple monitors with mixed DisplayPort and other connections
- you frequently connect/disconnect external displays or dock a laptop
- you use RDP with varying display configurations
- you want windows to reopen where they were closed

## When to avoid
- you are on macOS or Linux - this is Windows-only
- you need full window management beyond position persistence
- you want a GUI-heavy window manager rather than a background utility
