@FatBoyNL Make sure to upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme available at: https://www.aida64.com/downloads/latesta64xebeta After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know if it helps.1 point

I’d like to share a detailed solution for anyone struggling with the Sensor Panel moving, resizing, or resetting when using a secondary display with different scaling or resolution. This is a common pain point discussed by users like scotts, supes, WeakLaugh, and Atila on the official AIDA64 forums, where many report that the panel resizes itself or jumps between monitors after rebooting or reconnecting displays. (https://forums.aida64.com/topic/7580-sensor-panel-resized-itself-after-connecting-new-monitor-now-i-cant-fix-it/) Goal Lock your Sensor Panel on a secondary monitor with fixed size/position and make it launch reliably with Windows — even if monitors disconnect/reconnect or have different DPI scaling. 1) Edit the AIDA64 configuration file (AIDA64.ini) Close AIDA64 entirely. Open Notepad as Administrator. Locate your AIDA64.ini file: %localappdata%\FinalWire\AIDA64\AIDA64.ini or in your installation folder. Find the [SensorPanel] section or add it at the end if it doesn’t exist. Replace or set the following values according to your monitor setup: [SensorPanel] Active=1 FixedSize=1 Width=1280 Height=400 PositionX=-1600 PositionY=1040 LoadLayout=1 LayoutFile=C:\AIDA64\SensorPanel_Fixed.spzip [Display] AutoAdjustDPI=0 AutoAdjustResolution=0 What to change for your setup: Width / Height → set these to the exact resolution of your Sensor Panel window. This locks the panel size. PositionX / PositionY → coordinates of the panel on your screen: PositionX = horizontal offset relative to the primary monitor; multiply by the primary monitor’s DPI scaling if it differs from 100%. PositionY = vertical offset from the top of the virtual desktop; usually PrimaryMonitorHeight - SecondaryPanelHeight if the panel sits at the bottom. LayoutFile → point to the .spzip or .a64sp layout you saved. Use the full path, without quotes. [Display] section prevents AIDA64 from automatically adjusting DPI or resolution when monitors reconnect. 2) Create an automatic startup script (.bat) This ensures AIDA64 opens after Windows has initialized monitors, preventing resizing or jumping. Open Notepad. Paste: @echo off REM Close AIDA64 if already running taskkill /f /im aida64.exe >nul 2>&1 REM Wait 8 seconds for Windows to arrange displays (adjust if your monitors need more time) timeout /t 8 /nobreak >nul REM Start AIDA64 start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\AIDA64 Extreme\aida64.exe" What to change for your setup: timeout /t 8 → increase if your secondary display takes longer to initialize. Path to aida64.exe → replace with the actual path where AIDA64 is installed on your PC. Save as AIDA64_Startup.bat (type: All Files, not .txt). Create a shortcut to this .bat and place it in the Startup folder: Win + R → type shell:startup → paste shortcut. Optional: In the shortcut properties → Run: Minimized, so the console window doesn’t appear. What This Fix Solves Locks Sensor Panel size & position on your secondary monitor Prevents Windows DPI scaling from resizing it unexpectedly Ensures AIDA64 launches after monitors are ready Stops AIDA64 from jumping to the primary display on reboot or after connecting virtual monitors Why This Is Needed Many users report that the Sensor Panel keeps resizing or moving after disconnects, restarts, or when DPI scaling differs between monitors — even with “Lock panel size/position” enabled in preferences. (https://forums.aida64.com/topic/7580-sensor-panel-resized-itself-after-connecting-new-monitor-now-i-cant-fix-it/) Credits & References Thanks to users across the AIDA64 community (e.g., scotts, supes, WeakLaugh, Atila) for identifying that the core issue relates to panel resizing on monitor changes and scaling, which inspired this workflow.

Thanks you sharing- I was able to modify this to work with 2560x1440 (vertical monitor)1 point

There is a good reason for program upgrade in the next releases, isn't it?1 point

Wrong thread. This thread is for sharing. That was a purchased Sensor Panel. Panels offered for monetary gain are to be shared and advertised in another thread. Share and advertise in it. Please dont give this thread a dis-service.0 points

He didn't mention me as the author and creator of the graphics (element Package_v1.1_by_Exhumed) in the video above. And then he simply uploaded all of my files to Dropbox. Without naming that the graphics are from me and not asked beforehand whether he can upload them.0 points
