Windows 10: Multiple display adapter sign in / adapter priority

Hi, I'm building a gaming PC with multiple displays and I can't choose which adapter to prioritize, even when I switch slots in the case. So I simply changed the main monitor in display settings for a work around, but now when I power on the PC and don't need the PC for gaming, display connected to slot 1 on the motherboard, I can't sign in and have to power on the larger display and high power adapter as well. How can I get a sign in on all displays and not just a blank screen? I need to be able to sign in on all monitors and leave my main display off since I can't connect it to display
