** Need help with dual monitor setup! **

[ThatDudesBox]

If anyone else here has a dual monitor setup and can help me with a problem please give me advice!

I recently just got a 2nd monitor (an old Benq RL2455) and it is currently my monitor on my left
My other monitor is my Benq XL2411Z ( a 144hz monitor ) and it is right in front of me, with my current set up i use my 144hz to game on and the old benq as my secondary monitor and its set as my main display so wallpapers and the extended screen works properly.
But i face a problem where games load up on my main display and they cannot be switched over to my other monitor like R6S can with the ingame settings, so i was wondering if there is a way to force games to load up on my 144hz monitor

The game may be configured to always start on your OS's configured main monitor. Try switching your main monitor in the OS settings and see if it loads on a different screen. I'm guessing it should.

I've heard that the Windows Key + Arrow Key moved applications between monitors on windows 7, but I haven't tried it. There are a few key combos to try here. http://superuser.com/questions/202422/switch-open-applications-between-monitors

I know what you wanted, but many games and applications in general force load to the OS's main monitor. If they're actively detecting multiple monitors and forcing to the main then there's nothing you can do. We do that in software dev sometimes to keep the app from jumping in wherever it wants to spin up.

In that case you could set your better monitor to main as I mentioned and it would load on the better monitor. All of your icons and such would have to be moved to the secondary, though.

Your graphics software may have settings to auto move things to different monitors. You could look into third party tools.
