game constantly booting on second monitor

[PILLOW]

i have a main monitor and an additional one, and for some reason game prefers the latter to main one
symptoms:
game ignore display selection in settings
when turn off second display game appears on the main one
when select a borderless window or just window I cant change resolution and game always appears on the second
when select fullscreen games appears on main

Is there any way to fix this without reinstalling ff?

I also have 2 monitor set up but I don’t remember getting this problem.
Have you tried
1. Changing the display setting in game? There’s a drop down menu where you can change the display 1 and 2.
2. Put the game in window mode and drag it to your desired screen and change it back to borderless/fullscreen?
3. Check your window setting and see which monitor is consider 1, the game will always try to launch on display 1.

thats the problem, game ignores these display settings at the top and despite that main monitor is is consider 1 in os, game still prefers the second in the window mode no matter that. And the exact opposite happens when I select fullscreen, the game will constantly be displayed on main screen no matter of settings until I restart it, then i start the game again it will choose second monitor no matter what I chose before and I will have to move it to the main screen again

and doing all this every time is quite annoying

There’s also a shortcut to move active window to another monitor, I kinda forgot what it was.
Try window + shift + left/right?

I tried , it didnt work, although it seems like this bug just started after I tried these combinations or another when I needed to move ff to the second screen for sunshine
