Dual Monitor Issue - Items being 'pushed around' on right monitor.

Hi, I'm looking for some software that might be able to sort this issue out for me. Basically, when loading a full-screen application or game, items on the right monitor tend to get pushed around, sometimes off screen. I know that if my second monitor was on the left, this problem wouldn't occur and windows stay fixed where I leave them. Can the DisplayFusion software fix this issue?

This usually happens when the full screen game changes the screen resolution of the primary monitor. That changes the relative location of everything because window x/y values are all relative starting from the top-left corner of the primary monitor.

You can use the Save/Restore Window Positions functions in DisplayFusion to help here.

On the Settings > Functions tab, set key combinations on the Save Window Positions and Restore Window Positions functions.
Save the positions before launching the game
Restore the positions after exiting the game

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the quick response! Just to clarify; will this mean I'm able to save/restore/lock window positions while the game is open? Because the main annoyance is tabbing in and out of the game to use my second monitor and things getting pushed around everywhere. If I could fix that it would be a dream come true.

It won't lock them, but you should be able to save them before launching the game, then use the restore hotkey any time you alt+tab out of the game
