That way only Outlook (or whatever apps you configure) would be affected.

This did solve it for Outlook. Now just need to figure out how I prevent all other programs from opening to the current window. ]]> RE: Microsoft Outlook (and others) and Pop-Out Windows (pop-out placement is random) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/microsoft-outlook-and-others-and-pop-out-windows-pop-out-placement-is-random/?ID=603bb5ab-fbfb-4530-9d56-8e76572adfd0#3 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 19:18:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/microsoft-outlook-and-others-and-pop-out-windows-pop-out-placement-is-random/?ID=603bb5ab-fbfb-4530-9d56-8e76572adfd0#3 DisplayFusion Thanks Jon! I tried that and didn't seem to solve the issue. Perhaps I need to restart my computer.

In an Outlook calendar (Virtual Screen 1), when double clicking on a meeting, the new pop-up appeared in Virtual Screen 3 still. ]]> RE: Microsoft Outlook (and others) and Pop-Out Windows (pop-out placement is random) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/microsoft-outlook-and-others-and-pop-out-windows-pop-out-placement-is-random/?ID=603bb5ab-fbfb-4530-9d56-8e76572adfd0#2 Fri, 17 Jul 2020 18:22:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/microsoft-outlook-and-others-and-pop-out-windows-pop-out-placement-is-random/?ID=603bb5ab-fbfb-4530-9d56-8e76572adfd0#2 DisplayFusion Have you tried the "Centre child windows over the parent window" option in DisplayFusion for this yet? That might help with most of the popups. Thanks! ]]> Microsoft Outlook (and others) and Pop-Out Windows (pop-out placement is random) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/microsoft-outlook-and-others-and-pop-out-windows-pop-out-placement-is-random/?ID=603bb5ab-fbfb-4530-9d56-8e76572adfd0 Fri, 17 Jul 2020 14:55:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/microsoft-outlook-and-others-and-pop-out-windows-pop-out-placement-is-random/?ID=603bb5ab-fbfb-4530-9d56-8e76572adfd0 DisplayFusion I am running Windows 10 and program pop-ups are randomly placed across the monitor. I have 2 monitors (1 laptop and one ultra wide monitor split into 3 screens).

As an example, when working in Outlook. I double click an email to have a pop-out. The pop-out may appear on any of the virtual screens. I often need to scan around all 4 to find it, often thinking it didn't load.

I would like the pop-outs to be done within the same screen (virtual screen).

I tried a fix on here (settings for outlook.exe) and the pop-outs appears behind the current view, therefore, I removed it. Can I make a setting across all programs and ensure it appears above the current view (act as a pop-up).

Thanks in advance! ]]>
