A messy alternative that might work, is to disable the smaller monitor, before shutdown, and then re-enable it after startup.
For the most part this can be automated with enough effort. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/primary-monitor/?ID=4c43a462-3122-4b0d-8ac2-0cfccd577406#3 Sat, 19 Dec 2015 09:25:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/primary-monitor/?ID=4c43a462-3122-4b0d-8ac2-0cfccd577406#3 DisplayFusion I can't because the small display is using DVI and the huge one is using HDMI. I can't find a setting in my nVidia Geforce control panel to change which one displays "Starting Windows" upon booting. Perhaps it's only settable in the bios? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/primary-monitor/?ID=4c43a462-3122-4b0d-8ac2-0cfccd577406#2 Sat, 19 Dec 2015 09:18:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/primary-monitor/?ID=4c43a462-3122-4b0d-8ac2-0cfccd577406#2 DisplayFusion That is determined by your videocard/system

I made the huge monitor my #1 primary monitor. However, when Windows boots, the Windows Loading screen shows up on the tiny monitor but not the huge one. What determines which monitor shows the loading screen and can it be changed? ]]>
