Windows 10: Anyway to prevent all apps on a multi display computer to move to primary display when...

I do not want to have my screens on all the time. Sometimes I like to go for some walks or swimming and leave my computer idle for some time. Every time when I wake the computer, all my apps move to the primary display, so I have to move the programs back to the secondary one.

Is there a way to prevent this? I have the latest version of Windows 10 and latest updates. I have the AMD 5700XT graphics card if that makes a difference.

How do I make games open on the primary display?

I have 3 monitors on a nvidia GTX660Ti, with the latest drivers, on windows 10, upgraded from win7, on a PC that I have been gaming on for quite some time now. The hardware itself has been an excellent gaming rig up until the windows upgrade and/or the
nvidia driver upgrade, but now a number of my games will not start on the primary display, they start on the first display in the list, which is not marked as primary. Both the windows display settings and the nvidia control panel have my central monitor
identified as the primary display.

• Has anybody encountered this behavior?
• Is it likely to be windows 10 related or decided by the nvidia driver?
• Any suggestions on getting this to behave properly, like it used to, without requiring me to disable the other displays to get the primary to be used?
