Hello,

i did NOT hide all the studies because its not of importance. I hope i am not in the 35% category. IF so, please let me know.
I suggest just looking at the window borders and notice how the chartbook contains charts NOT show on the screen but are rather placed outside of the main application window. The problem with this is, that this happens to me now for weeks on random occasions. Meaning, i cant replicate it.

I didnt change any resolution but after restarting the pc after weekend i might end up like this. This happened AGAIN this morning. I didnt change any setting on my pc between closing sc/weekend shutdown and reloading sierrachart.
Needless to say, that ALL the charts did fit into the main window last week and as i said, i didnt change anything. I also cant use any of the "window tile commands" because sierrachart does not place the chartwindows in a way i need them. I always have to adjust the chart windows manually.

What could it be? I also tried to figure it out by setting different screens as main windows desktop...nothing. I changed screen resolutions back and forth...nothing. I am getting tiered of reconfiguring my charts.

I have 2 gpus...1 amd and 1 nvidia and 5 monitors with 3 different resolutions in total... But this shouldnt be the source of the problem, right?

PS: It looks like, the monitor is set to 4k in the settings but doesnt display 4k...but how would this make any sense? The amd card supports 4! 4k monitors at native resolution and 2 are only connected. The nvidia card supports one 4k native resolution@60Hz and only has one 4k monitor connected to it. The screenshot is from a monitor connected to the amd card. The same problem occurs to me on the 2k monitor. If it happens, it happens to all the sc instances.

You need to refer to the documentation here for how to arrange the windows the way you want:

The latest Sierrachart version doesnt offer in my case a convenient option to configure the chartbook layout, regarding chart window placement, only manually. If i use any tile option, sc doesnt gives me anything useful.

From documentation:
If the Use Windows Custom Grid Layout on the Global Settings >> General Settings >> General 4 tab is selected, then the number of Rows and Columns is determined from the values in the Windows Grid Row Count and Windows Grid Column Count settings.

The order in which the child windows which are part of the main Sierra Chart window, are tiled is according to the order they are set in Window >> Windows and Chartbooks . So if you want want to change the child window tiling order, change the order of those windows in Window >> Windows and Chartbooks and select the Tile* command again.
