    I have a Dell laptop and 2 monitors. When I launch my apps such as outlook and OneNote, they appear "jumbo" instead of the normal 100% even though my settings say 100%. They appear normally at 100% on my laptop.

    Applications Not Opening on my External Monitor

    I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop running Win 10. I have a Samsung external monitor attached via HDMI.

    My background display and task bar DO appear on the external monitor, but when I open applications such as Outlook, Google Chrome, etc., they open on the laptop screen NOT on my external monitor.

    I have shutdown both the laptop and external monitor and rebooted. The external monitor is listed in Device listing. I have the display setup for Extended Desktop and when I select Identify, it shows me 1 as the laptop and 2 as the external monitor.
    I have unplugged both ends of the HDMI cable.

    How do I get apps to open on my external monitor? Thanks for any assistance. Cheryl

    Applications Not Opening on my External Monitor

    Hello,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    As you are able to view the desktop and task bar on the external monitor, I suggest you to drag the applications from the laptop screen on to the external monitor and check the result.



    However, Windows 10 will open the applications on the primary monitor.

    Windows retains the position of the application that is opened, if the application is opened and dragged to the secondary monitor, upon closing the application and reopening it. The application will open on the secondary monitor.



    Hope it helps.



    Regards,
