How can I make a application open on a specific monitor every time?

Hi,

Selecting a default screen for a certain app or program is currently unavailable. When you open an app, it will open in the primary monitor. What you can do is setting your computer's monitor as the primary display. To do this, kindly follow the steps below.

• Press Windows key + I and click System.
• Under Select and rearrange displays in Display, click
  Identify to see which monitor is currently the primary display.
• Set your computer's monitor as the primary.

Open a Program on any Monitor where I open at?

Hi,

Regardless of how many monitors are set up on a computer, one main display is allowed. For your security, we cannot offer any third-party applications that are not approved by Microsoft.

Alternatively, you can follow the steps below on how can an application open in a specific monitor:

• Open an application, then drag it to the monitor you want it to open.
• Restore down the application (window mode). To do so, press the Windows
  key + the Arrow down key on your keyboard.
• Close the application by clicking the X mark icon.
• Relaunch the application to confirm.

Note that this workaround may or may not work for all applications.

Feel free to post back if you need further assistance.
