I have 3 monitors. Primary is left, but I want windows to default open to the middle monitor. Is this possible? Please only post if you know of a way. I had to come here because the last couple places I asked, it was clear people only responded to gain some kind of points or something, because there were no answers, just "oh you can *try* this".... or "*maybe* this will work". In other words, it would be helpful if there were zero modal verbs (could, may, might, should, maybe, etc...) in your answer.

Thank you kindly.

Windows will only open on whatever monitor is set to "primary." Doesn't matter if you have 2, 3, or more monitors. Windows "decides" where it's going to open before it has a chance to load any software that would tell it different.

To date I've never seen a BIOS setting that tells the OS what monitor to use.
