Similar to a problem I keep having...
Which is every time I go to use my computer every single window is squished into the upper left hand corner into a tiny square
If I minimize everything and then switch over to my computer, I can hover on the windows in the taskbar and they show the correct locations. But when any of them are unminimized they immediately squish to the upper left corner.
It's freaking annoying.
Switch your display cables, I can never remember if it's display port or HDMI that doesn't do this, but you've just landed on the wrong one.
It's cos when they switch off, the desktop workspace reduces to an old limit in windows (800×600 minimum desktop?). So all the windows are therefore reduced to that. For some silly reason the display spec included disconnection on sleep mode (not power off!).
You may be able to tweak the monitor settings, too, but I'd start with figuring out if you're using HDMI or DP and try getting the other cable
