How to stop windows from moving around when closing the lid or sleeping

potatosubwoofer
Rising Star II
System: Win10
Battery or AC: Battery
Model: UX482EG
Frequency of occurrence: Sometimes when closing the lid
========================
Detailed description:
Is it possible to stop the windows from moving around when the lid is closed and then opened again? (Setting for lid closed is "Do nothing")
I understand that the secondary display disconnects when the lid is closed (and the laptop remains on) and that Windows moves all of the windows to the main display because it detects that the screen layout has changed.
Is it possible to have the windows either stay where they were or relocate to their previous positions when the lid is opened again?
Can anyone else confirm this behaviour? It sometimes does not happen but most of the time it does move my windows.
I have also tested this with Power Button: Sleep mode and it appears to do the same thing

Could you please provide me with the operation video for confirmation by the relevant unit?
Sorry for any inconvenience it may be caused.

Confirmed by the technical unit, this is normal behavior.
When the screen cover is closed, the secondary screen will be powered off, so the windows in secondary screen will jump back to the main screen.
