Title: Window Size and Position
Post by: rjmolloy on May 10, 2025, 10:47:03 AM
It would be nice if the application window remembered its last size and position.

Try the following...

1. Shift + X before closing.

2. Close the app.

3. Re-open the app.

Works in version 4.

What exactly is this supposed to do?
Where is it documented?
Is it a shortcut for some action you can do with the mouse, e.g., from the left-hand nav?

It doesn't work for Windows (installed) v5.2.3.0 on Windows 10. The window always opens maximised on the main monitor.

Hi there,

5.2.3.0 is a really old version, could you please upgrade to v 5.4.0.0? https://patchmypc.com/release-notes/production-release/home-updater-releases/

I think this should resolve the windows size.
