That should hopefully resolve this issue. We'll let you know as soon as it's been implemented.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Trigger questions https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/trigger-questions/?ID=01a04f4e-2964-7417-83cd-579c3f8302e0#4 Thu, 10 Sep 2026 10:31:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/trigger-questions/?ID=01a04f4e-2964-7417-83cd-579c3f8302e0#4 DisplayFusion

Let me see if I can help you with your items. For #1 that is unfortunately up to the game if it's running fullscreen. Games often have hardware-backed rendering on a specific monitor and can't be moved. For #2 you have the right idea, the "current monitor" is the one where the mouse cursor is. For #3 I would recommend instead of using a trigger on the Settings > Window Management tab enable the "Centre non-overlapping child windows..." option and that should do what you're looking for.


So, I have this trigger
Event: Window Created
Frequency: Always
Process Filename: *.*
Action: Move Window to Mouse Cursor Window"

Works great if I launch a program, mostly. This function overrides "Taskbar Shortcuts" that have "Force Monitor" checked.

What happens is I launch a program from one taskbar and before it launches I move my mouse to another monitor. The program then launches on whatever monitor my mouse is currently on.

Is there a way to have the Taskbar Shortcuts override the function, or better yet have the system track which monitor I was on when I launched and open there, even if the mouse has moved?

I'll give those a go.

For games that misbehave I can set up triggers specifically for them.

Been playing with triggers to try and automate some things.

I currently have 3 monitors. 4K center, 2 1080P in Portrait flanking. Not sure if that matters, but just putting it here.

I am trying to set up triggers to do the following:
- Run Full screen game - Monitor 1
- Open app from Start menu/Run Menu/Etc - Open on currently selected monitor
- Any sub windows an app opens, open on the monitor the app is active on.

I can get the second working mostly by using "move to Mouse Cursor monitor" as long as I don't move the mouse before the program starts.

The problem becomes if I start a game and my mouse is on the wrong monitor it'll open on that monitor.

I also can't get the subwindows to always work.

Is there a way to match a program opening "Full Screen" or "Full Screen Window" etc?

If this isn't currenly possible that's fine too.

Thanks ]]>
