Description

Here is my simple code to locate the Notepad++ opened on my screen. (Windows10)
import pygetwindow
window_name = 'new 1 - Notepad++'
window = pygetwindow.getWindowsWithTitle(window_name)[0]
print(window.topleft)
Output when executed>>Point(x=830, y=250)

The same code returns a different set of coordinates when I import PyAutoGUI. Here is the code and the output.
import pygetwindow
import pyautogui
window_name = 'new 1 - Notepad++'
window = pygetwindow.getWindowsWithTitle(window_name)[0]
print(window.topleft)
Output when executed>>Point(x=1038, y=312)
