[Setox]

Issue Summary

Intel Arc A770M Graphics driver version 32.0.101.6793 causes all application windows to lose their size and position after system lock/unlock operations, resulting in windows being compressed and relocated to the top-left corner of the screen.

Affected Hardware

• GPU: Intel Arc A770M Graphics (16 GB VRAM, Discrete)
• CPU: 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700H
• Secondary GPU: Intel Iris Xe Graphics (Integrated, 16 GB Shared)
• Driver Version: 32.0.101.6793 (WHQL)
• Intel Graphics Software Version: 25.14.130.21

Problem Description

When the system is locked (either manually via Win+L or automatically due to inactivity timeout) and subsequently unlocked, all open application windows experience the following issues:

1. Window Size Reset: All windows lose their custom dimensions and revert to minimal size
2. Position Reset: All windows relocate to the top-left corner of the primary display
3. Layout Destruction: Multi-window workflows are completely disrupted
4. Persistence: The issue affects all types of applications (browsers, file explorers, text editors, etc.)
5. Clean install and upgrade drivers doesn't help at all. The problem exists for a months and started to occurrence at January this year I guess

Hello Setox

I've tested both versions 32.0.101.6881 and 32.0.101.6913, and neither shows any issues with positioning and size after locking and unlocking the system.

Please perform a clean installation of the latest Intel® Graphics Driver 32.0.101.6913 (WHQL Certified) using the Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU). If the problem continues, I strongly recommend reaching out to your system manufacturer support team for further assistance, as there may be an incompatible Intel graphics driver installed on your system.

Best regards
