Mac OS Sierra doesn´t restore window position on Dual Monitor System
Since I upgraded my Mac Pro to Sierra 10.12.6 there´s an issue with restoring window positions, primarily in Finder but also in some apps.
If I open f.e. a folder in Finder and move the window to the second monitor, after closing and reopening it, it opens always on the first monitor. Until now (on Mavericks f.e.) windows have always opened exactly on that screen where they have been closed before. Maybe someone can give me an idea how to fix this issue. Thanks in advance.

Re: Mac OS Sierra doesn´t restore window position on Dual Monitor System
There's a way to do it using Mission Control which I discovered recently having the same issue. Basically you set up these "virtual" desktops and then you can right click on the app in the menu bar and set it to open on the monitor you want. You should Google it...

Re: Mac OS Sierra doesn´t restore window position on Dual Monitor System
thanks for your reply Chris
But I´m not sure if we are talking about the same issue only for clearness: I double click a folder in Finder and move the window to the second monitor. Then I close the window and re-open it. Instead it opens exactly on the last position (on the second monitor) it opens on the first monitor. Before upgrading to Sierra I never had such an issue. I started the mac in Safe-Mode (disabling any extensions), but this issue remains. I created a new user-account and there this issue doesn't´t occur ... strange. I didn´t install sierra from the ground up (clean install) - instead I upgraded from Mavericks, maybe there´s something left from the older system that causes it

I'm not positive, but it seems like for me if I select Finder on whichever screen - that screen is is now the default for opening folders or accessing any open program's menu.

Re: Mac OS Sierra doesn´t restore window position on Dual Monitor System
I have to add that it wasn´t an issue occuring on a dual monitor system only. the issue was that the Finder didn´t store information like Finder-window size, position and view (f.e. column or list view)
I´ve found the culprit: after deleting all "com.apple.dock...." - preferences in User/Library/Preferences all finder folder windows occur in size / position / view as they have been closed before wondering what these preferences had to do with this issue ... but it works ;-)
