I checked “Ease of Access” in Windows, and didn’t find any option to keep Windows from resizing, so I don’t know of any control that you can use to stop this.
It is hard to say what could be causing this, my guess would either be Windows or the video drivers, possibly in the act of placing the system to sleep it is temporarily disabling the video driver and Windows adjusts the apps. It doesn’t sound like a hardware problem and other than being an annoyance I wouldn’t worry about any defects with the system hardware.
It is possible that updating the video driver or Windows update may eventually correct this, but I can’t say. I wish that I had more for you, but again this doesn’t sound like a hardware problem, so at least you shouldn’t worry that there a defect with the computer hardware.
I realize it most likely isn't a hardware issue as it's only started occurring since upgrading to Windows 10. I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced this or if it's a known issue.
It was not clear to me whether Windows 10 caused the resizing or not.
I tried changing "close lid action" from "sleep" to "do nothing". The result is the same.
((To prevent this, put the XPS 13 to sleep before closing the lid, and you will always retain your window arrangements.))
The resizing behavior that occurs is similar to when a display has been disconnected and reconnected. My guess is that the signal to the display disconnects upon closing the lid.
If that is the case, I suppose that this minor loss of functionality is the price one must pay for such a slick piece of light-weight machinery.
I am experiencing the same issue on a Precision M4800 after installing Windows 10. I just uninstalled the AMD graphics driver with no effect, then uninstalled the Intel graphics driver and the re-sizing issue is fixed - so this is definitely a driver problem.

Hi TK83,
I experience the same issue.
It was not clear to me whether Windows 10 caused the resizing or not.

Scratch what I said about behavior being hardware-related.
All signs are pointing to a driver issue.
(Only one of a multitude of issues I've been experiencing with Windows 10...)
