Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Issue when reverting to single display on notebook

This may not be a UltraMon problem, however, it is of concern. A resolution is vital to me using dual displays.

I run my Dell notebook in two configurations.

1. Office: notebook display as secondary display and external (VGA port connected) display as the primary. It is primary as I use it most and it's good to have the Start button, etc there. This set up works extremely well with no issues.

2. Mobile: I only use the notebook display.

I set up profiles for each configuration and these work great. My problem is that sometimes when I start an application in config 2. it will start on a phantom second display. An it's not visible.

Is there a way to force applications to start on the primary display or move it back to the primary display?

To do this, right-click the application's shortcut, select Properties from the menu, then select the UltraMon - Window tab and set 'on monitor' to 'Primary Monitor'.

Please note that this may not work with all applications.
