    Microsoft Edge on Extended Desktop Monitor 2


    I have a laptop w/2 monitors, total of 3. I've been using Edge for almost a year, it was on one of my extended monitors and stayed there, always opened up on this monitor. Now, after some update, or something, it opens up on the other extended monitor. Each time I boot up and start using my computer now and open Edge it opens up where I don't want it, I drag it to the 'original' monitor where it's stayed put for a year and close it from there. Edge refuses to stay put on this monitor, where I want it to stay. ALL other browsers; I can put wherever I want, I close them, reopen them and they open where I closed them. Why does Edge not comply? Thanks for any response.


    BTW; I found the 'answer' to the previous requester's question on this topic insufficient;


    "you cannot directly launch apps on the extended screen" I've been launching Edge on my extended screen for 12 months.

    :)

  2. Microsoft Edge on Extended Desktop Monitor

    When I start Microsoft Edge in Windows 10 it always starts on my Monitor 1. I can drag it over to the extended desktop on Monitor 2 quite easily but I expect it to start on that monitor the next time I launch it (without having changed monitors or settings
    of course). Other programs do behave this way. Is there a setting I'm missing to get Microsoft edge to start on my extended desktop monitor?

    Microsoft Edge on Extended Desktop Monitor

    Hi Cliff,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    You may open the Edge browser in Monitor 1 and drag the window to Monitor 2. Now simultaneously press Ctrl key on the keyboard and click on "X"(exit button) on the Microsoft Edge.

    Now you may try to open the Edge browser again to check if it open in the Monitor 2.

    Note: If you restart the computer, you need to perform the above procedure again.

    Hope the information helps, do reply if you need further assistance.



    Thank you.
