Hey @LeanFree12312 I've seen this before and been able to fix it by hitting the Windows key and P at the same time just as you launch the game. Once the game has launched you can set the game to your main monitor and then after hit the two buttons again and set everything back as it should.
Can I ask how you are connecting your multiple monitors? Are both connected to your GPU?

Do all other games show up on the first monitor when you launch them @LeanFree12312?
I wonder if it could be related to your bios and how your monitors are prioritised? Is that something you would feel tech savvy enough to check?

I am having this same issue and using Windows Key+P does not work.... I need to be able to use my second screen while the application is running but the game will not open on the main monitor. It's pretty ridiculous that I would have to disable the second screen temporarily while I play the game just so that the game shows up on the correct monitor....

Yes, via DP cables. I have a 32” monitor that I have connected to the GPU that is also connected to a PS5 so that I can use a smaller second screen to control my Twitch stream while I’m playing on my PS5. That is why the smaller second screen is set as my main screen and not the 32”. So when I play Fallen Order it plays on the the smaller second screen and not the good 32” screen. It’s frustrating that there isn’t an option to manually select which monitor to use without having to reconfigure my entire display settings just to play this one game then having to set everything back the way it was once I’m done.

Ok here's how I get it to work but it's kind of complicated. first I have to start out having to have my settings in 'windowed' mode (from a previous start of the game or set then exit the game)WITH A RESOLUTION LESS THAN FULL SCREEN e(g. < 1920 x 1080) then /restart and do the option-p thing and set to monitor 2 only. once the game starts I set to windowed/full screen and reset my resolution. I then reset option-p and change back to multiple monitors (useful when you need to check walkthrus game maps or whatever) but do NOT forget to reset initial conditions above before exiting game for next time you want to play.
