  1. Programs opening on incorrect monitor since latest update


    I have a three monitor set up.

    At start up i have multiple programs opening. Before the latest update they all opened up on the correct monitor. Since the update they all open on the primary monitor.

    I have tried moving to the correct monitor, closing and then reopening and they are fine when i am working on the pc. Ie if i close them and reopen they open on the correct monitor. It is the initial launch where the problem is.

    Can anyone help please? I’m happy to use a third party app if this is the solution.

    :)

    Programs opening on incorrect monitor since latest update

    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.
