So when a corporation like Microsoft does something to the tool we all use every day, you can bet anything that someone will have an immediate fix available and ready to download. The new start bar, right-click contextual menus, and general fidgeting with what never needed to be changed really made it a bit of a nuisance. (I would prefer notifications to show up on my second screen and not on top of my fullscreen applications.When we reviewed Windows 11, one of our biggest contentions with the new operating system was condensing things that never needed to be condensed. The only downside is that this way the notifications still appear on the screen which is selected as main. Sidenote: I kind of got League of Legends working on my landscape "not main" display with making it windowed -> dragging to the other window -> setting back to borderless but it needs to be done at every new round which is not very convenient.Įdit: StartAllBack does almost everything for me.

So my question is: Is there any way to set "main" display for each and every application seperatly, or is there maybe some 3rd party application that would let me do this? If you can suggest something for Windows 10 which might or might not work on Windows 11 that would also be appriciated as I'm not "locked" into 11, I might as well switch back to Windows 10. It only wants to go fullscreen on the windows "main" display and even if I wanted to play in windowed mode, it only let's me choose from some preset resolutions in the "main" displays resolution which is annoying as my second monitor is in portrait mode and I do not want to play in a 9:16 window. Which is fine, I can move most of the applications back to the other display on which I want them, but some games are harder to move than others. However if I set my second display to be the main display, now all games and other applications want to open on that display. (or replace the explorer.exe with the Win10 one which I would prefer not to do)) In Windows 11 however you cannot unlock the taskbars, so the only option is to set the second display as the main display. (In Windows 10 you could move the "main" taskbar to the secondary screen for the tray icons and clock so only the notifications did not show on the second screen, this way I made the compromise with the notifications. For this I need my second monitor to be the "main" display in windows.


So my main usecase is the following: I would like to see my tray icons, clock and notifications on my second monitor.
