Kangyu California is an independent Windows utilities publisher whose single public project, PersistentWindows, tackles a frustration that has affected multi-monitor users since Windows 7: the spontaneous rearrangement of application windows after display configuration changes. The utility sits unobtrusively in the system tray, silently recording the exact size, position, and monitor assignment of every open window; when the operating system alters the desktop layout—after resume-from-sleep, graphics-driver update, dock/undock, RDP disconnect, or resolution switch—it restores each window to its previous geometry within seconds. Typical use cases include office professionals who hot-dock laptops to external displays, traders whose multi-screen layouts must survive overnight sleep, gamers who frequently toggle fullscreen modes, and IT departments that push driver updates remotely. Because the tool operates at the Win32 level, it is equally effective for legacy Win32 executables, modern UWP apps, and even elevated administrator windows, requiring no special shell extensions or registry hacks. PersistentWindows is released under the MIT license, accepts command-line automation, and can export/import layouts for rapid deployment across fleets of workstations. The publisher’s entire catalog is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through the trusted Windows Package Manager (winget) source, always pulling the newest build and allowing users to queue the utility alongside any number of additional applications for unattended batch installation.
This project addresses a long-standing issue in Windows 7, 10, and 11, where windows get repositioned after events such as the system waking up, external monitor connections or disconnections, changes in monitor resolution, or during RDP reconnections.
