Visual Studio opens on secondary monitor

Question

I run Windows 10 and have two monitors as shown on the below screenshot:

Display 2 is set as my primary monitor, but when I start Visual Studio it always opens on Display 1. The same happens with SQL Server Management Studio, because it is based on VS.

Is there a way to fix this - either in VS settings, or by changing display numbers in Windows?

Answer 1

Make sure VS isn't maximized. Move it to monitor 2. Don't maximize. Close VS. Now it should reopen every time on monitor 2. You can maximize it now if thats your thing. Basically VS will remember what monitor its on as long as its not maximized. A lot of applications work this way.
