After my computer goes to sleep, and I open Illustrator, all of my tool boxes are moved to the top left of my screen.  This has only been happening this week.  Anyone else?  What can I do?

MacStudio

Please post a screenshot before and after of what is happening. Do you have an external monitor.

 

Try resetting the workspace you are using, whether you are using a custom one or a default one. If you are not using workspaces, is good to save a custom one you prefer.

 

Try restarting your computer. Do you have anything installed that modifies your OS or Illustrator? Virus protection software.

 

In system preference mission control turn on this setting.

Well, I thought I had it fixed.  It was all ok when I opened this morning, but as I am working and up and leaving my desk, I come back to the tool boxes all in the upper left corner again.  Only happening in Illustrator.  I have redone my Favorite workspace,  I am all up to date on all my programs and OS system.  NEW Mac Studio but it has been working just fine for over a week and just started to do this.  I do not have "mission control" settings in my Preferences, and when I search and hit "mission control" it just spreads out all my window boxes for the programs I have open.

I am still having issues with my work/tool boxes all moving to the top left of my screen.  Does anyone know of any other ways to fix this issue?

Which version of Illustrator? did you update?

Which system? Did you update?

 

Do you have multiple monitors attached?

 

Just incase this is MacOS? It's just FUBAR on Apple's side. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253803495
