Hello,  
I have the necessity to open the workstation on the left side of the monitor by default (half screen).  
It doesn't memorize the last position I open it and always go centred-fullscreen (even using the option windowed)  
Is there any way to set the size and the position on open it?

Thank you  
Best Regards,  
Flavia Delli

That might be a job for the OS. What OS is Workstation running on?

Hmmm, it seems that there's no built-in feature in Windows to specify the position and size from a shortcut / command line. See [Start an application with a specific window size in a specified position - Super User](https://superuser.com/a/1362031/511090) for some other ideas.

See also Method 3 in [Fix: Windows not Remembering Window Positions and Sizes](https://appuals.com/fix-windows-not-remembering-window-positions-and-sizes/).
