Windows 10: How to "lock" specific applications to only open on a specific monitor, regardless of...

Hi everyone,Title pretty much explains it all. I have two monitors, and I am wondering if there is a setting or parameter that will allow me to make certain applications only open on my second monitor. I feel like there is an easy way to do this that I am just completely missing. I have seen methods of getting applications to do this, however the issue is when I shut down my computer and log back in, it goes back to opening on my main monitor. I would like to be able to make these applications continue to open on my second monitor even after shutting down.Is there a way to do this? Or am I not

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.
