Workspaces

Steps to reproduce

Go to work. Run Workspaces editor to save window positions and put a shortcut on the desktop for it.
Do the same at home.
Later when moving between work and home, run the appropriate location shortcut.

✔️ Expected Behavior

That it puts the windows where I had Workspaces store them, depending on the workspace icon I select.

❌ Actual Behavior

About half the time it works fine and the other half nothing happens when I run Workspaces. Sometimes, it even minimizes the windows altogether.

Additional Information

I have dual monitors both at work (24" HD) and at home (27" 4k), which are different resolutions. Using a Dell Latitude running Win11 23H2 plugged into a dock via USB3, and the dock drives the monitors in each place. I have it set up to position only Outlook, Teams, and Edge for each place. I run it via desktop icons that it created.
Not able to run anything as admin.
