Minimized windows in multiple desktops

If I minimize a window on desktop space 1, and then try to reopen in desktop space 4, it will switch back to desktop space 1. Is there a way to avoid this, and have the minimized window open in the space I am currently working in? I already have everything de-selecting in the mission control settings.

Why does exiting out of Fullscreen app rearrange all my desktops? I even have my apps "assigned" to specific desktops, but it doesn't care. When I hit esc and exit out, macOS just rearranges them how ever they please. I've been dealing with this issue on dozens of computers, on all every operating system from El Capitan to Ventura.

Is there a way to make all windows appear at the beginning of horizontal list of the full-screen windows? By default, full-screen windows in Mission Control rearrange themselves automatically, which can be unpredictable and annoying. To avoid this, I disabled the "Automatically rearrange Spaces based on most recent use" feature in the Mission Control settings by unchecking the corresponding checkbox. However, this created another issue where some windows start appearing at the end of the horizontal list of full-screen windows while others keep staying at the start of the row when entering full-screen mode. This inconsistency makes the work with Spaces confusing and annoying. So is there any way to fix this issue and make all windows appear at the beginning of that list? Maybe there is some terminal command that could fix that? Video demonstration of the issue: https://youtu.be/EQlxhWNzePY [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Finder moving between desktops Dear community, Why does Finder move from desktop to desktop on MacOS Ventura. After the update it does that all the time and it is rather frustrating. Not using stage manager yet - afraid to start using it with issues as such, I prefer good old desktops (years ago we used to call them spaces). If I have a finder window at say "desktop 2" I want it to stay there, not follow me around in whichever desktop I use. How does it stop? Thank you!

Drag the window over to the desired desktop. You can start dragging and use control-right or control-left arrow to switch desktops, and then let go when you reach the desktop you want.

Alternatively, you can open Mission Control and drag over to desktop 4 on the top row
