Multiple Monitors

[Gman]

Just thought I'd throw this one out there.

At the moment i've got 3 monitors, the 3rd one is the one I use most for games.

Is there an easy solution to getting games to always start on a specific monitor?
At the moment its starting to be hit and miss, either you start the game, set it to windowed move it to the other monitor then full screen it again. Or you might get away with setting the other screen as the primary monitor then starting the game.

anyone got any better solutions to this setup?

I usually just set whichever monitor I'm gaming on as my primary monitor in Windows.
Then I unlock my taskbar and drag it onto the monitor where I want all my taskbar items to be and re-lock it.

I would like to know an easier way too!
I have 1 4k monitor I use for single player games and 1 1440p 144hz for online shooters.
The only thing I discovered so far is the windows key and arrows left and right but that doesn't always work.

Might try the windows key trick see what happens .


The main annoying thing for me is. I'll start the pc move the game to the 4k TV. Then I'll turn off the other two monitors. When I do that Windows usually has a fit as it loses track which screen number is the primary.
