Hi ( I hope I can explain what I want...)

Is it possible to say DF that it should open the App on first Monitor, when I click the icon in Taskbar on first monitor? (And on 2nd Monitor when click on the button on that?)

The Background is, when an internet browser is running on 2nd monitor and I want a new window of this application on first monitor, Windows11 opening a new tab or Window on 2nd monitor (where it is already running).

If you right click the pinned icon and select "Edit this pinned item", you can turn on "Force application to start on same monitor as taskbar" and it should do that for you.

I have a similar situation (I think) but I don't have that option when right-clicking an Icon. All I have is 'unpin from taskbar' (and the program). Having said that, this is what shows on the primary taaskbar - on the secondary display taskbar there is also the option 'edit this pinned item'. No such option on the primary taskbar...

The main taskbar is still your Windows taskbar, so it won't have those options. You could create a trigger like the one I've attached below, it will move any opened window to the monitor your mouse cursor is on, but this will apply to however you open the window, not just from the taskbar.
