Could you try this?

  • Right-click the shortcut, choose "Edit this pinned item"
  • Disable the "Force application to start on same monitor" option
  • Click OK, then OK again
  • Try opening the shortcut

Thanks, that fixed it. ]]> RE: Display Fusion moves all apps started on secondary monitor to leftmost split https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/display-fusion-moves-all-apps-started-on-secondary-monitor-to-leftmost-split/?ID=7e8cc33b-1fdd-471e-af16-bc8ec2e3f3e7#2 Mon, 31 Dec 2018 20:07:46 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/display-fusion-moves-all-apps-started-on-secondary-monitor-to-leftmost-split/?ID=7e8cc33b-1fdd-471e-af16-bc8ec2e3f3e7#2 DisplayFusion Could you try this?

There is a large section in the middle of each monitor and two smaller ones on each side.

Whenever I open an application on the secondary monitor using a shortcut pinned to the taskbar on that monitor it opens briefly in the middle, where it was the last time it was closed, but then is moved to the leftmost split. I have tried creating triggers to move them where I want them, but they don't work. Apps that are set to start with windows open in the correct places, but I think that is happening before DF starts.

Windows 10 Home 64bit
Version 1803
Build 17134.472
DF 9.4
