I use Google Chrome on Windows 10, and I like to keep one window with a set of tabs in one virtual desktop and another Chrome window in a different desktop

Frequently after sleeping or hibernating my computer for a while, I find that all my Chrome windows have conglomerated in one desktop. Just now it happened the moment I clicked on my first Chrome window after resuming the computer. However, I can't figure out the precise steps to make this problem happen, so I'm not sure what causes it.

Is this likely to be a bug in Chrome? Or something that I fix somehow?

I'm having the same issue for sooo long. And now I'm facing the problem cause it's enough, I can't with it.

Can't find nothing searching on the web. But I think I know when it happens.

Apparently it only happens when hibernate with a second monitor plugged.

So my workaround will be to first unplug the second monitor and then to hibernate. I know it will move all of my opened windows to my laptop. But IMHO it's better than moving everything without any order across my virtual desktops.

I hope this helps and please tell me if there is a better solution

Not the solution you are looking for but they way I make it work is to use Firefox on one desktop and Chrome on the other.

Not a solution but a workaround: hit CTRL-WINDOWS-RIGHT ARROW, then immediately CTRL-WINDOWS-LEFT ARROW (or UP/DOWN if you have your virtual windows above and below). This will quickly move you to another virtual desktop and back. This "reminds" Chrome about the orientation and gets you quickly back to your original configuration.

It's worth noting that this also triggers when you have your desktop set to automatically switch your desktop images in the Personalization Settings. Really annoying when you have it set to every 30 minutes, as I did!
