Track taskbar positions as well?

How difficult do you think it'd be to track taskbar positions as well?

I'm not aware of scenario where the taskbar moves as a result of monitor configuration changing. Can you describe the scenario? Sounds like the primary monitor is changing

@hunkydoryrepair I think @BootsSiR might be referring to tracking which is the primary monitor where the start button resides? Also, isn't it possible to move the taskbar to the top and sides? These are features I've rarely experimented with, but I think he's got a good point.

I forgot why I didn't have success with MonitorKeeper... I think it was Remote Desktop logins from my small screen phone that throws my window layouts into oblivion. I don't think MonitorKeeper helped with that issue. I should try it again.

@hunkydoryrepair I like to have my primary taskbar on my second monitor (the one with the system tray). If my computer goes to sleep, Windows loses track of everything as the monitors power off and your app restores everything except my taskbars always revert to the default position with the taskbar on my primary display.

Windows 10 does not let us reposition the taskbar, but this may be being caused by the primary monitor changing. Can you describe your display settings regarding the primary monitor and task bar? There may be a way to reset the primary monitor if it changes.
