But when I turn off my displays that are on HDMI or DVI or VGA, the computer still detects them like normal, like they're connected, because they are.
I don't understand in which case the 'act like it's physically disconnected' behaviour would be more desired than what we had with all the standards before.
I have read that some DisplayPort displays do have an option in the settings to disable this behaviour.

But since they’re off, that doesn’t make any sense, now you can’t reach any windows on those monitors. I think the macOS behavior make the most sense, move them so you can access them, but move them back once the display is turned on.
- Joker_vD 3y agoOr, you know, don't do any of those silly dances and just let the windows stay where they are the whole time between turning the displays off and on? Reminds me of that problem with video driver update on Windows when the screen is momentarily resized down to 1024x768 resolution and then instantly goes back to 2560x1440: all the non-maxed windows get shrunk down and shifted to the upper-left corner (so they would be visible on a 1024x768 screen) and then they just stay like this. It's totally useless and actually quite annoying.
- someplaceguy 3y agoSounds like a Windows problem once again...
