Win 7 Pro 64-bit:
I’m fully updated through the June patches, but now I cannot get Task Manager’s position and size to stick.
I’m one of those nerds that has set Task Manager to start on every reboot. I like to set it to open on the right side of the screen, with max vertical size from top of screen down to top of “tray”.
But that won’t stick any more!
On every reboot, Task Manager now reopens at top left and skinnier and shorter than I want it. I can’t figure out why the size and position settings don’t stick.
Yes, I've tried closing it (after sizing and positioning it the way I like) with CTRL + X button and similar, but no luck.
One of the April, May or June patches ???

- Also I still have an old but important XP SP3 machine that can run - Optiplex 755 Desktop w 4GB RAM and Momentus XT hybrid HD-SSD 500 GB hard drive. Used the registry hack to get more updates through "XP Embedded" or "POS" so now the machine rings like a cash register and the CD drawer opens to give change.
