Description Manon Grivot 2024-01-25 17:39:11 UTC
SUMMARY
I have two screens, one is 4k (primary screen) and one is 1080p (which I will refer to as the "wrong" screen now).
Many of the apps I use are always opening up on the wrong screen. This includes full-screen games, but also some other apps that randomly want to open on the secondary screen. It doesn't matter where I closed them the last time, they will always open on the wrong screen, until they don't (and some other apps will now open on the secondary screen).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
This is a very random behavior, of which I don't know the source and couldn't reproduce it.

OBSERVED RESULT
Windows randomly opening on the wrong display.

EXPECTED RESULT
Windows should open where I closed them. And they should, by default, open on the main screen.
