Locking all Windows to primary monitor/TV

Richeh · 30 Nov 2024 at 01:45

I have a slightly odd setup as a I have an AVR receiver that is only good for 1080p but fantastic sound. I use an LG OLED C7 for my primary display. I regularly find that after turning both/one off and then turning back on that programs, browsers etc seem to go to the AVR which is not visible so have to Winows + Arrow to get them back on my TV. Is there a good way/program to make sure that all things stay on the OLED when it is turned on?

Any help appreciated.

Are you using Windows 11, as it solves a lot of multiple display issues like this.

Nvidia can be a bit of a pain in the bum when it comes to multi display outputs, I had similar problems on my end with my screen setup.

You can do a clean driver install and it usually fixes it for a time, but the problem always seems to come back.

You could try Display Magician, I believe it was initially created to help people with multi-monitor/device sim racing setups, but it might resolve your particular problems with some luck.

I had the same problem for years with Windows 11. Nothing worked.
I also had a problem where Windows thought my Monitor was a Fax machine (in the Colour Management app).
I recently clean installed Windows 11 and now I don't have either problem.

Good luck.
