Alternatively, if the games have a "windowed mode" option in their video settings, you should be able to enable that, and then move them to any monitor.

For the full screen games minimizing when you click outside of them, you're correct, you'd want to use the Prevent Window Deactivation function. Unfortunately it doesn't work for all game though, so I'd recommend testing it out in the trial version before purchasing.

Thanks! ]]> Running steam on secondary monitor only? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/running-steam-on-secondary-monitor-only/?ID=f2040940-d5d3-425a-9e86-02885926b125 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 02:08:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/running-steam-on-secondary-monitor-only/?ID=f2040940-d5d3-425a-9e86-02885926b125 DisplayFusion Hello, I'm trying to see if this program has what I'm trying to accomplish

I currently have 2 monitors

1) Crossover 27Q 60Hz @ 1440p
2) Asus VG248QE 144Hz @ 1080p

Ideally I would like this setup so that my Crossover is my Primary for everything EXCEPT games and have ONLY my Asus monitor run and play steam games

Do I have to enable the Asus monitor as my primary monitor? If so than how do I get all my Taskbar icons duplicated over to my Crossover monitor?

When I launch a game on the ASUS as primary that seems to work but as soon as I click over to my Crossover it minimizes my game, which I do not want.

There are 2 features that I found that might be what I'm looking for? Window Location (to launch steam) and prevent window deactivation function?

Thanks for your time and I will be upgrading to Pro version if this software can accomplish what I'm trying to do

thanks,
bobby ]]>
