Setting which screen to use in fullscreen?

Post by knorke »

See topic, how do you set on which monitor spring will appear when using fullscreen? In windowed mode I always drag it over to right screen but in fullscreen mode can not do that.

If you use windows 7, it remembers which monitor was last set to fullscreen on app-basis.

But there's a bug and sometimes it restores the app to the wrong monitor. To fix this, drag the app to the correct monitor, minimise it, and the restore it (with shift+right click on taskbar icon). After that it should automatically restore to the correct monitor.

In case you're looking for a command to switch displays, it's possible to do from shell:
%windir%\System32\DisplaySwitch.exe /internal|external|extend|clone
