We don't really have control over where full screen games go either, they usually just launch to your primary monitor.

Have you used anything like Nvidia surround or AMD Eyefinity in the past? ]]> RE: How do I prevent a fullscreen application from spanning all my monitors? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/how-do-i-prevent-a-fullscreen-application-from-spanning-all-my-monitors/?ID=e276bbca-212b-43d1-b98d-7bdc0a483e0e#4 Fri, 28 Apr 2023 07:42:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/how-do-i-prevent-a-fullscreen-application-from-spanning-all-my-monitors/?ID=e276bbca-212b-43d1-b98d-7bdc0a483e0e#4 DisplayFusion

Yeah, still happens, even after a restart with DF turned off. Here's the attachment


Try installing and using 9.9, that worked for me. ]]> RE: How do I prevent a fullscreen application from spanning all my monitors? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/how-do-i-prevent-a-fullscreen-application-from-spanning-all-my-monitors/?ID=e276bbca-212b-43d1-b98d-7bdc0a483e0e#3 Fri, 28 Apr 2023 06:01:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/how-do-i-prevent-a-fullscreen-application-from-spanning-all-my-monitors/?ID=e276bbca-212b-43d1-b98d-7bdc0a483e0e#3 DisplayFusion

It becomes a major problem for certain games where I can't actually see the resolution options because they are off my monitors.
My monitors are not horizontally alligned, but I only recently developed this issue, most games were able to stick to just my main monitor
Attached is what happens when I open the game The Binding of Isaac. Even though it is set to full screen, you can see my steam peaking through behind it, and how it spans across all my monitors. Any ideas for a fix? ]]>
