Windows 10: How do I Assign an application a Default Monitor

Hello gang!


I run windows10 with 4 monitors and multiple complex applications.


If I power down the monitors the HDMI monitors my applications move all over the place to other monitors!


I am looking for a simple way to preassign an application position and monitor so that if a monitor is turned off or windows is sent in sleep mode, the applications will all come back in there preassigned position?


it is very frustrating?


HELP!

Assign monitor Numbers

Hi,

If you're pertaining to making Acer screen as the monitor 1 and the other is 2, you can just have them interchanged by going following the steps below:

• Right-click on your desktop screen > Display settings.
• Under "Select and rearrange displays", just drag the monitor basing on your choice of number; then, click on "Apply" button after.

If the above given information is not what you're pertaining to, let us know so we would know the next action we can give you.

Update us after doing the steps.

 

Apps default to the wrong monitor

Can you alter their onscreen position using WinKey+LeftArrow/RightArrow?
If so, they will also step across monitors by repeatedly using the same keys.
If you can get them onto the monitor you want this way, they ought to default to that monitor the next time they are run.

This is how normal Windows applications behave.
- I don't know anything about Steam things.
- I don't know what you mean by 'not windowed'.

Best of luck,
Denis

 

How to set Default program/application to open the files in Windows 10.

Hello Des,



Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience caused and will assist you in resolving the issue.



Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:

• On accessing which file type are you getting the above error message?
• What are the troubleshooting methods performed to resolve the issue?
• Did you check if the issue persists on assigning a default program/application to open the file type?

A default program is the program that Windows uses when you open a particular type of file, such as a music file, an image, or a webpage. For example, if you have more than one web browser installed on your computer, you can choose one of them to be
the default browser.



You may be facing the above issue due to unassigned program or application to open that particular file type on the computer. Assigning the default program or application for the file types will help in ease of accessibility on launching the file.



Assign a default program to open the file type from Settings page by following the steps below:

• Press Windows logo key on the keyboard, type Default programs and select the top most search result.
• Scroll the page down and click on Choose default apps by file type from the window.
• Locate the file format from the window, click on the file and choose an application from
  Choose an App window as default file opener.
• Close the window and check if you are able to open the file type in the set default application.
