You could try using the "Window Focused" event in your trigger so it fires every time you click the window, but it may have some unexpected results. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/steam-apps-open-on-secondary-monitor-instead-of-primary/?ID=019be1b0-64bf-71bd-87a8-f966ee5480d8 Wed, 21 Jan 2026 17:53:12 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/steam-apps-open-on-secondary-monitor-instead-of-primary/?ID=019be1b0-64bf-71bd-87a8-f966ee5480d8 DisplayFusion Almost all games I have been running lately are opening on my secondary monitor. The current workaround I have been using is to run the game, then disable the secondary monitor, then select the revert option to get the game on my primary. I have checked every setting i can find and all have the primary set as the primary monitor which should mean that applications default to open there.

Any idea on how to fix this?

PS. I have tried to use the method of opening in boarderless and using a trigger to move. This works unless I need to use any other application, then the game moves back to the secondary monitor and is worse since it is then in the wrong dimentions as my secondary is in portratit mode and much smaller. I have tried using the "Prevent Window Deactivation (keeps game windows focused)" trigger as well without success. ]]>
