Hi folks: As you may notice when working on multiple monitors, windows 10 sometimes opens a new window on the opposite monitor than the monitor your currently working on (the monitor where you may double-click the new app). This is very handy in most cases. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I often work via remote access (e.g. Teamviewer, AnyDesk). When I open a new Explorer window or a document, it is very inconvenient if my action is seemingly randomly performed on the other screen. I am thus forced to constantly switch the displayed screen with TeamViewer or AnyDesk back and forth. Is there a way to set a new app to always open on the screen where the last click was performed?

So far, I have only found settings that cause apps to always open on the primary monitor. Is there a way to always open new apps on the active screen instead?

I also found this post. However, I have no Nvidia graphic cards How can I choose where new application windows open?

This post describes several workarounds for a related issue on Windows-7 and Windows-8. Unfortunately, that is not what I am looking for. How to make applications open on the correct monitor when using multiple monitors?
