I use the v9.9. I will wait for the stable version. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-newly-opened-application-windows-to-the-current-monitor-doesnt-work/?ID=b6a1f3cc-3482-456e-bd1d-b429586aba89#8 Wed, 05 Jul 2023 17:32:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-newly-opened-application-windows-to-the-current-monitor-doesnt-work/?ID=b6a1f3cc-3482-456e-bd1d-b429586aba89#8 DisplayFusion This issue should be fixed up in the latest beta, available here:https://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta. Please let me know if you still run into any trouble after updating.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-newly-opened-application-windows-to-the-current-monitor-doesnt-work/?ID=b6a1f3cc-3482-456e-bd1d-b429586aba89#7 Tue, 23 May 2023 15:31:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-newly-opened-application-windows-to-the-current-monitor-doesnt-work/?ID=b6a1f3cc-3482-456e-bd1d-b429586aba89#7 DisplayFusion Thanks for confirming, I was able to reproduce this on my end so I've added it to our list to look into.

Can you roll back to v9.9 and see if the issue persists there? Here's the link: https://www.binaryfortress.com/Data/Download/?DownloadID=7df295d9-434c-4b4e-9dd2-086249a66366&Log=0

@r.schot Outlook re-uses window handles, so it's very unreliable. We have a script in our repository called "Move New Outlook Message Windows to Current Monitor" that should work better for you. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-newly-opened-application-windows-to-the-current-monitor-doesnt-work/?ID=b6a1f3cc-3482-456e-bd1d-b429586aba89#4 Wed, 17 May 2023 08:05:25 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-newly-opened-application-windows-to-the-current-monitor-doesnt-work/?ID=b6a1f3cc-3482-456e-bd1d-b429586aba89#4 DisplayFusion I'm facing the same issue as well. Even when I enable and configure the trigger a child window doesn't move to the active monitor.
For example:
When I open Outlook it starts on the active display, but a new email window opens on the other display. It was working before, but now its not anymore. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-newly-opened-application-windows-to-the-current-monitor-doesnt-work/?ID=b6a1f3cc-3482-456e-bd1d-b429586aba89#3 Tue, 16 May 2023 19:03:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-newly-opened-application-windows-to-the-current-monitor-doesnt-work/?ID=b6a1f3cc-3482-456e-bd1d-b429586aba89#3 DisplayFusion Hello, thanks for the answer.
For me, this setting doesn't work, even with the first window created.
With this trigger, every new window open in the monitor where the mouse is, but I would like only the window opened by the start menu do this. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-newly-opened-application-windows-to-the-current-monitor-doesnt-work/?ID=b6a1f3cc-3482-456e-bd1d-b429586aba89#2 Tue, 16 May 2023 15:13:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-newly-opened-application-windows-to-the-current-monitor-doesnt-work/?ID=b6a1f3cc-3482-456e-bd1d-b429586aba89#2 DisplayFusion That setting only applies to the first window created, but it can have some trouble depending on how the window is actually opened. If you create a trigger like the one I've attached below, it should be more reliable.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-newly-opened-application-windows-to-the-current-monitor-doesnt-work/?ID=b6a1f3cc-3482-456e-bd1d-b429586aba89 Mon, 15 May 2023 20:03:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-newly-opened-application-windows-to-the-current-monitor-doesnt-work/?ID=b6a1f3cc-3482-456e-bd1d-b429586aba89 DisplayFusion Hello.
Sometimes ago, when I opened an application with the taskbar on my second monitor, the application windows opened in the second monitor. But actually it doesn't work anymore. It was very useful.
I don't know exactly when it started to not work anymore. So I don't know if it is a bug or if the functionality doesn't exist anymore. In the settings, in the "Window Management" tab, it doesn't matter if I check it or not, nothing change. The only way to make it work, it's to uncheck "Only move windows opened from the Start Menu (only with Windows 7 or Classic Shell)", but it is not the way I like it. Actually, I am on Windows 10 with Open-Shell.
I am using the 10.1 beta 3 of Display Fusion. ]]>
