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.

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!

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.

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.

@StudioNeuneu Ah, in that case, this should be working with OpenShell as well. 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.

Thanks for confirming, I was able to reproduce this on my end so I've added it to our list to look into.

Thanks!

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!
