Website looks like it might be one of those bloatware programs with ads that have sneaky on the side additional program installs but it's safe and legit. No ads, clean interface and works a charm. Free version is 30 day trial full is $10 which is reasonable. For me at least it solves the issues I've had. There are some apps it can't seem to resize/move like RTSS or Ryzen Master for example. But windows apps and windows folders - plus most other programs I've tried it can. Just experiment and see. It's straight forward to understand once you try it out with some apps and folders
Tip - When you start the program create a new profile at the top and check enabled box next to where it says Default. Just type a new name in the Default box then save. Now when you add (Pick!) a new app window or folder it'll save them in your rule list and to your new profile. This is important otherwise you'll lose the rules you set when using the default profile.
I've looked for exactly such a thing and I havent found anything.
I'm guessing that MS's window management system doesn't allow for hacks that can do that.
I now use a combination of Dexpot for multiple desktops, Window Manager by Desksoft that "remembers" where windows were located when they were closed and deskpins to make windows "always on top".

Deskpins is unsupported freeware and I cant remember where I downloaded it but can be downloaded at multiple locations.
I'm not sure it is exactly what you're looking for, but I use WindowManager. The trial is free, and it takes a bit of learning, but you can fix windows, when open, that will not move, even if you drag them elsewhere they will snap back. One can also resize them, put them on a specific monitor, pretty much any window function. I couldn't live without it on my multi-monitor setup! Hope that helps.
Also, I wonder if that spotter has to train, I mean, if he doesn't have to work out, then that's the job for me in Extreme Sports.
It's called WindowManager. It does a ton more than just set locations for windows too. For instance I have certain windows stay always on top and locked to my second monitor and other stuff stay normal so it's never on top. It's very customizable and it's the only software I've found that can properly keep windows in the same spot.
In Adobe, open the ones that are in the wrong spot then you can try Windows - Workspaces and it should remember. As for Explorer it's been a known problem for a while and there's a couple possible solutions but plenty of mixed responses.
Position the window where you want it and hold ctrl while you hit the X button.
Put it where you want it and hold the winkey and hit the left and right arrow keys a couple times to snap it to both edges then back to where you want it, close the window and it should remember where it is. Again, it's a known problem and they might not work.
It was designed this way. You can't change this behavior through Windows. However, several third-party programs do exist that provide this functionality:
