I have set up Emacs daemon on Windows 10. My Emacs version is GNU Emacs 25.3.1

I have some code in my init.el which resizes the frame size automatically when Emacs starts up. The code is

;; Select a desirable font-size, frame position and frame size when Emacs starts up
(defun originalPosition ()
  (interactive)
  (set-frame-font "Courier New-14" t t)
  (set-frame-position (selected-frame) 100 50)
  (when window-system (set-frame-size (selected-frame) 82 28))
  )
(originalPosition)

This code used to work perfectly when I launched Emacs normally (not as daemon). However, emacsclient does not accept these settings.

Searching around for a solution, I realised that I need to use after-make-frame-functions . So I added an extra line to my init.el

(add-hook 'after-make-frame-functions (lambda (frame)(when (display-graphic-p frame)(originalPosition))))

After adding this line, every instance of emacsclient has different frame sizes (but uses the correct font size).

How can I get emacsclient to use the correct frame size for every instance?

I used default-frame-alist and it sets the correct frame size

(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(height . 28)) ;; Vertical frame size
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(width . 82)) ;; Horizontal frame size

It works when Emacs is launched normally and also when Emacs is run as daemon.
