My SensorPanel is not Aligned After Every Reboot

[slipkidOG]

I have three monitors, along with a small LED monitor specifically for SensorPanel. It's a Wiseco, 1920x720 display. This previously was not a problem and then possibly after one of the updates, no matter what settings I choose, it still ends up on my primary display.

I cannot choose Keep SensorPanel the topmost window (always on top) because, when I create a new folder for example, I type the name of the new folder and the refresh of the SensorPanel takes the attention of the new folder. I have tried without Lock panel position and Prevent SensorPanel from being minimized. I have not disabled Enable context menu.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

The panel positioning issue is most likely caused by 

• display scaling mismatch or monitor enumeration changes during boot can cause AIDA64’s SensorPanel to load on the wrong screen. 
• Graphics driver resets, remote desktop sessions, or monitor sleep/wake cycles may also trigger this behavior. 

Fix you can try:

• Set your sensor panel display as the primary monitor temporarily, then reposition the panel and revert the primary setting.
• Ensure Display Scaling is consistent across monitors. (which I'm sure not possible for some us using 4k monitor)
• Disable Fast Startup in Windows Power Options (sometimes helps with monitor enumeration issues).
  • Go to Control Panel and select Power Options.
  • On the left sidebar, click Choose what the power buttons do
  • Click Change settings that are currently unavailable (you may need admin rights)
  • Under Shutdown settings, uncheck Turn on fast startup (recommended)
  • Save changes.
• Save your SensorPanel layout after positioning it correctly.

Disabling Fast Startup ensures Windows fully reinitializes your display configuration on boot, which can help keep your sensor panel anchored to the correct monitor.

 

Also, check your display position in Windows settings, System, Display. The position of displays in Windows absolutely affects SensorPanel placement—especially in multi-monitor setups. Here's how and why:

How Display Positioning Impacts Panel Placement

• Windows uses a virtual desktop space where each monitor is mapped with coordinates. If you rearrange monitors in Display Settings, the coordinates of each screen shift.
• SensorPanel (and other apps) remember their last position using these coordinates. If your 1920×720 panel was placed on a monitor that has been moved, it may appear off-screen or jump to another display. For example, I used my MSI Afternurner on my second monitor, and it stays there.

 Common triggers for misplacement

• Changing monitor order or alignment (e.g., dragging monitors in Display Settings)
• Switching primary monitor
• Connecting/disconnecting external displays
• Resolution or scaling changes
• Fast Startup or driver resets on boot

 How to stabilize panel placement

1. Lock your monitor layout
   • Keep your display arrangement consistent in Windows Settings.
   • Avoid dragging monitors around unless necessary.
2. Match display scaling across monitors
   • Go to Settings > System > Display > Scale and ensure all monitors use the same percentage (e.g. 100%).
3. Disable Fast Startup
   • This forces Windows to reinitialize display settings properly on boot.

Happens to me a few times when I connect/disconnect external displays. Try the fix mentioned above and see if it helps.
