    Make Windows Media Player open on second monitor when launched.


    Windows media Player always opens on my main monitor no matter what I do. Every other program and App will remember what screen it was last opened on except WMP. I can launch it, move it to the monitor I want it on, maximize it, close it, and it just launches back on the monitor set as main display. I had this issue in the past, and fixed it, but can't for the life of me remember what I did.

    Problem with graphics on Intel (R) Graphics Media Accelerator 3150

    I use ASUS EEEPC 1215p with graphics on Intel (R) Graphics Media Accelerator 3150
    Driver version 8.15.10.2697 (the last ver.)
    I use a second monitor via the VGA
    Last OS was w7 extreme
    After upgrading to w10pro, when PC started with an external video monitor, sound is OK, but the image in the player is absent.
    When I used w7 everything was OK , and a window with the player drags to second monitor with sound and image.
    Driver is the most recent . What can be done ????
