Application (Adobe Reader) consistently opens in my external monitor, despite efforts to make it open in primary:
1. Move window to primary, close, re-open.
2. Shut-down Windows, disconnect ext. monitor at monitor, start Win.
3. Move window to primary, re-start Win.

Other aps. do not behave this way.

How can I make the ap. open in primary?

If I understand your question. This may help. Before shutting down go to single monitor and unplug the second screen from the computer at the computer.

I had similar issue before, but your process of moving it to primary monitor and closing it solved it. It was Adobe reader also, try it several times.
