CRU does not emulate a monitor connection, so that won't work. The problem is DisplayPort disconnects when the monitor is turned off, and if Windows didn't move the windows from the disconnected monitor, there would be no way to access the windows. Windows has no way of knowing the monitor is still connected and doesn't offer a way to leave windows on disconnected monitors. The real solution would be to allow sleeping individual monitors, which would keep them connected but with the screen turned off, but Windows only seems to offer power saving for all monitors at once.

I can actually sleep one monitor by switching it to a disconnected input. However, when it wakes up again, it disconnects and reconnects, which still moves all windows around. This is also an issue I have when waking up all monitor in Windows 10, monitors reconnect, but windows are moved. In Win11 I can also hear the monitors reconnecting, but the windows stay in the same place. Apparently Microsoft made a fix for that. Still annoying I can't turn a monitor off without the windows moving though.
