Description of the new feature / enhancement

Hi PowerToys Product Team,

I hope we can have the new feature to support resize and repositioning the application and window to fill the corresponding zone after we restart/shut down the operation system, to remember what exactly the positions of the application are before we shut down and restart. if this is possible we can put it as an optional feature enables for some of the users.

Scenario when this would be used?

In our daily works, we will put the applications that I will use the most in startup settings. then the new fresh day, we just need to power up our PC, then we can start working in a very quick way.

But currently, the position will be lost after restart/power off. we need to reassign all application windows to different virtual desktops and zones.

For my understanding, Currently, we need to shut down / restart our operation system in frequency due to some reason, and we can't keep the PC keep running for a couple of days or even longer, as we need to save power, to protect the hard disk and devices. usually, we will shut down the PC after we are off work on the same day.

if we can support the feature will benefit a lot for the people who use multiple virtual desktops, and even someone who uses additional monitors, also will benefit the people who don't use additional virtual desktops/monitors as well.

Supporting information

currently, I have created multiple virtual desktops for different purposes. for study, movie & music, work, creative. etc. really love it if in the future we have such advanced features.

Thanks,
Best Regards,
Raul
