Question

Window location and size

It appears to me that every window on Windows remembers it's last location and size when the application is closed.  Except Zoom Meetings.  It opens this huge oblong box covering 2/3rds of my screen every. single. time.  I move it to the side and and resize it to get my work done.  Restart, boom, back to the center.  

 

I know, first world problems, but seriously, why can't Zoom perform like every other application?  

Yes, I've shift-closed, ctrl-closed, closed following any other article I could find that would give me a clue. 

 

(Don't get me started about the "X" in the upper right corner not closing an application.  I'm seriously thinking this app is getting a kardashian complex (huge resource usage, always has to be the center of attention, can't believe everyone doesn't know who it is..)

It does this on macOS as well. Random window placement every time, including when going into screen sharing.

 

It feels like a Zoom programmer actually went out of their way to create a routine to randomly size and place windows.
