Question

Sticky Notes

ronea f 0

I have 2 sticky note applications ("Sticky Notes" & "Sticky Notes (New)").

-The "New" allows docking, but it does not allow me to select WHERE I want it docked. It automatically

docks to any screen I have to the LEFT. Ideally, I want it on my second screen on the RIGHT, but I can't find any options to allow this.

Up until very recently, sticky notes (new) docked on the right side of my left monitor, which was perfect for me - the change that led me here is that it will only dock to the left side now BUT, and hopefully this is helpful to you: I undocked, dragged to my right monitor, closed the app, reopened (it reopened on the right monitor) and then docked it and it docked to the left side of my right monitor.

I do have a setting to remember window locations based on monitor selected (see photo) but did not confirm if necessary for this action.

Hi ronea, this is Kimberly, an independent advisor. I'm glad to assist you today.

You're encountering a known limitation: the new Sticky Notes “Dock to Desktop” feature doesn’t let you choose which monitor to dock on, ////it simply attaches to whichever display is considered "leftmost" in your setup. This commonly results in it docking on the left screen rather than your preferred right-side monitor.

Here are some workarounds:

Manual placement: Before closing Sticky Notes, drag it to the second (right) monitor and then close it. On reopening, it might remember the position.

Avoid docking: Instead of using “Dock to Desktop,” manually resize and place the Sticky Notes window on your desired screen. You can keep it on top and sized as if docked, but without occupying reserved UI space across virtual desktops.

Should you have more questions, please let me know.

Best regards,

Kimberly

Also, To let you know, due to the dual monitors, so your suggestion to put it where I want it, close it and open, and it "might" remember the position, is a hopeful response. I must report that it actually reopened in the same spot, but on the left most monitor. Even if I open it on the Right monitor Task bar.

Ah, and I also tried to hover the [NEW sticky notes] on the SNAP feature, and it was not recognized. (SHRUGS) Thank you for your suggestion.
