Windows 10: Where is the setting to start programs on the same screen as the taskbar?

I have multiple monitors and have configured my taskbar to appear on all monitors. When I start a new program from the taskbar on a secondary monitor, the initial window appears on the primary monitor, and I have to drag the program over to the correct monitor.


I was not able to find the setting for letting programs start on the same monitor as the taskbar where they are started from. Where can I find that setting?
