As of 11.0.1, there&amp;#x27;s still a dealbreaker bug for people who use external monitors.&lt;p&gt;If you unplug an external display and then plug it back in, none of your apps&amp;#x27; windows (which were on the external display’s Space beforehand) are visible or where they used to be. The external monitor’s Space usually appears completely empty.&lt;p&gt;I genuinely hope Apple fixes this ASAP.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>jkcorrea</author><text>If you&amp;#x27;re a stickler for keeping your windows neat and orderly like I am, you may want to check out Yabai (+ skhd):&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;koekeishiya&amp;#x2F;yabai&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;koekeishiya&amp;#x2F;yabai&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;I used to use BetterTouchTool and Stay to do this, but after a co-worker tipped me off on yabai+skhd, I&amp;#x27;ve been extremely pleased and rarely have to think about window placement (took me a while to get the config &amp;quot;just right&amp;quot;, of course).&lt;p&gt;I haven&amp;#x27;t tried it on Big Sur, but because of the way yabai can assign windows to spaces, I don&amp;#x27;t believe you&amp;#x27;d face this issue.</text></comment>
