Illustrator Workspace opens in different locations

Question

I have a multi monitor setup. Artboards on one screen, workspace on one of the others. Every time I wake the computer from sleep, the workspace have moved. Not to the same place as it moved to the last time either, just a total random location on one of four monitors.
Workspace is saved, but that did no help. If this is the case each time I wake the computer there are no use in multi monitor setup.

How do I get the workspace to stay at designated location?

That would require much more info about your actual setup, in particular your graphics hardware and screen settingsl, including such things liek whether you treat them as one huge single desktop or separate, what your window management options are set to in your AMD/ NVidia drivers and so on. The combination of settings is literally infinite. It may even be that one of your screens is simply not waking up fast enough and then everything resets to default positions. That is to say that it's complicated.
