Save client window position after restart
Simple feature. Almost every program has it. After you start your PC up, it should open up where it has last been.
Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem, so to me this would be a very useful feature. 1 -
I don't think that's how it works. Maybe it can restore the window size, but the OS manages where the window goes... (comment to this if im an idiot and don't know how OSs work at all) -5 -
Try moving discord to the monitor of your choice and set it to windowed mode instead of full screen, then close out Discord from system tray. It should then reopen in windowed mode on the monitor you set it to.
EDIT: APR 2020 - Since this does not seem to be working for everyone, adding the following info for clarity. I am currently running Windows 10 ver 1909 on 3 monitors, set at 3840×2160, 1920×1440 and 1920×1440. My workload often requires that I switch discord from one of the 1920×1440 screens to the other and this method is still working for me as of APR 2020. My primary monitor is set to the 3840×2160 screen.
I do not use Mac OS systems so unfortunately can't comment on those systems.

I can't say I know how it works either, but somehow Chrome knows. And Steam and Battle.net both know where they were last. And that's across a multi-monitor setup too. So whatever they're doing/hooking into, it'd be great if discord could also remember where and on which monitor I had it last.

It opens on (i assume) the monitor you have set as default.
But the ridiculous issues that've come since the "security fix" that moves the token on startup and exit have been plainly painful.It may take discord ages to fix it, hopefully not though.
Hope something good comes of it soon.

It is pretty irritating that discord starts up on the default monitor every time it starts, especially given that is the same monitor where full screen games go. As a side note, if I could move the window as soon as it took the screen it would be less bothersome, but it takes it's sweet time getting the top bar initialized so that I can grab the window to move it.

dont use discord in maximize size leave in non maximize windows
-3 -
To be explicitly clear - this issue only happens for discord if you leave it maximized - then close it - then open it again.
It will open on your main monitor /every time/ if it was closed while maximized. Please fix this.

@rue is right!!!
The problem is with fullscreen mode and it matters how you close discord.
Fix:
Click box at top right of the window,
adjust window to how you'd like it,
Now don't close your window through the icon in the task bar.
Go down instead to the lil icon in the system tray (the lil expandable arrow near your clock)
Right click on that little bugger in there and choose quit.
When you open discord it will now be where you left it.

@Shanazzyone - as a person who never once had discord in fullscreen mode, I can confirm that yours is not the solution.
It also occurs if you have different resolutions on different screens - mine is always 3/4th out of monitor bonds when I open it up, I only see the top right corner of the discord window.
My left screen is 1080p, my right one (main) is 2160p - discord is usually on the left half of the 1080p screen.3 -
Every time I open discord App on MAC OSX, it opens full screen on my main monitor, but it was last opened on my secondary monitor. I need to resize it and move it each time I open it. My other OSX apps remember their last opened position.

This also needs to happen during updates... The other ticket I made was closed saying this is a duplicate so figured I'd mention this here.

This fixed it for me, thanks!

Thanks! But that’s been tried many times. This happens on both my Mac and Windows. It always starts on the primary window no matter what I do.

# OUTDATED SOLUTION IN NEWER POSTS
1. Put Discord on the Screen of your choice.
2. Right Click top of the window > Restore
3. Close Discord and it will open on the same screen you closed it before.0 -
As stated before, this does not apply to MacOS, is not an option and it should remember its last window/monitor position just like all the other apps I use.

and all of this does not work if you have different resolutions on your monitors.

After +1 year, this is still not fixed :(

Your best bet is to go to ~\AppData\Roaming\discord and edit the settings.json file manually.
It stores the window size and position as well as whether to start fullscreen or windowed.
Remember the windows taskbar is 40 pixels high, when setting the window size.

"Try moving discord to the monitor of your choice and set it to windowed mode instead of full screen, then close out Discord from system tray. It should then reopen in windowed mode on the monitor you set it to."
This didn't work for me until I realized that he meant windowed like this:
Normally when you say "windowed", you mean having a visible taskbar, which I'm sure confused a bunch of people.

This is a must-have if you ask me!

2. Right Click top of the window > Restore
This is the clearest solution to me, thanks

Was just forced to start using Win 10, and now Discord doesn't remember window size or location. So, yes, please fix.

I've been having this problem since first downloading discord on a three monitor setup in 2016.
June 10, 2021 - Still no viable solution.
I think a number of the people commenting "solutions" don't realize that the windowed mode fix only remains relevant to closing and reopening within a single windows session. As soon as you restart your computer, log out, etc. it opens again on the main display. Every time, without fail. Personally I have tried everything listed here with no change, including a manual over ride of the discord screen locator in the settings.json file.
At this point the only real solution is to be made on behalf of Discord itself. They need to allow their application to be opened on separate monitors, which you think would have been common sense seeing as discord is known for being a secondary application. We don't open discord to stare at the messages and people in the voice chat, we want to play games as we talk with our friends. Literally the point of a gaming server.

For MS Windows People it's i windows problem litterally, happens also to other applications not just Discord.
If Discord dosnt reopen on a secondary monitor after windows restart, you need to close Discord on your preferred screen as NOT MAXIMIZED.
Restart Discord.
After that, Discord opens on your the preferred screen, you can now maximize discord.Problem gone..

If anyone still cares, I have a fix.
You have to add in:
"MIN_WIDTH": 0, "MIN_HEIGHT": 0,
into the settings.json file located at Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\discord\settings.json
You add it in between ~"IS_MINIMIZED": false~ and ~"WINDOW_BOUNDS"~
It seems to always remember the dimensions you left it at. I messed around with the file, and resizing discord updates the pixel bounds in this file, but my discord always defaulted to different size when I opened it. After adding the two lines, it works.
Heres a snip:
I found this from u/That-Guy-Adog on reddit
