Illustrator" Open" and "Save As" vs. "Print to PDF" dialog box default positions

Illustrator" Open" and "Save As" dialog box default screen positions are in one place and "Print to PDF" dialog box defaults to another place.  Even if I move them around after they open, the boxes still never open in the same position on my screen.  

 

Please see my attachments.  Computer specs below; I'm on Illustrator version 28.5.

 

Edition Windows 10 Pro
Version 22H2
Installed on ‎8/‎5/‎2021
OS build 19045.4651
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19060.1000.0

 

Why does this happen and is there a way to make all of these dialog boxes always open in the same spot by default on my screen?  This annoying little glitch happens to all of my collegues at my work as well, not just me.

 

This issue is more of an annoyance than an actual problem, but would still be nice to not have this occur.

Hello @Emac_trademark,

We understand that encountering technical issues can be frustrating. Would you mind trying to save/export the file after changing the window location and then retrying save/export to see if it remembers the last window position used? Also, try running Illustrator under a different administrator account (Windows / macOS) and share your observations.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav

I'm saving files all day long after changing window location, this is not the solution.  Per your second suggestion, as mentioned in my original post, " This annoying little glitch happens to all of my collegues at my work as well, not just me."

 

Please see video I attached for screen share of what's going on.

Hello @Emac_trademark,

Thanks for sharing the details. Would you mind saving the files when the Save window shows up and checking if it still behaves this way?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks,

As mentioned in the last post, I've save / export files all day long for my job and it still does this behavior.  Maybe you're not understanding this glitch?  The Open / Save As dialog box position will be remembered upon a save or export, but the Print to PDF dialog box position ALWAYS moves somewhere else.  I Print to PDF quite a lot, so this is why this is annoying.

 

Please watch the video I attached last post.
