Default Locking my Windows session and returning moves my windows around?

Hello.

Sometimes I move my Windows desktop applications partially offscreen on
my single display. When I manually/a screen saver automatically lock my
Windows session to secure it and I unlock it to resume using my
computer, then I noticed my windows that were partially offscreen are
pushed back to the my desktop to show fully.

Is there a way to disable this? I do move some programs offscreen
partially on purpose.

Thank you in advance.

No.

Get a bigger screen or two. ;-)
