Hi, thanks for the report. Everytime you click Preferences, it'll execute userpref_show_exec function.
In that function, preference window location depends on cursor position (event->xy is used for the location)
If you access window from {nav Edit > prefs} it'll indeed appear close to top left corner, but location will be different if accessed through menu search (F3)

Window size is fixed: https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/B/browse/master/source/blender/editors/screen/screen_ops.c$5041

int sizey = 520 * UI_DPI_FAC;```

This is not a bug so closing the ticket
Please feel free to comment if there is misunderstanding

Well, it does feel like a bug as it is annoying as hell to have to drag the darn window back in the middle of my 4k monitor and re-expand it size so I can access the content.

@Harley hi, what do you think about current window resizing. Should this be changed?

This should be fixed.

But just for the "temp" windows. The others save and restore their positions with the blend file. But the "temp" windows - Preferences, Render, and a couple more - do not. Their initial sizes are just arbitrary. Fairly certain that File Manager will remember a preferred size now - will have to look into where it saves that and copy that behavior (if I am right that it does that now).
