Make Taskbar open windows on current display

Solution 1:

It seems that DisplayFusion has a similar function. Technically, it doesn't care the "taskbar" as it follows your mouse cursor, but the result will be almost the same.

Just wanted to let you know that you can now do this in DisplayFusion 4.1 Beta 13.

Doing the following will force all new windows to open on the screen that the mouse cursor is on:

  • Create a new Window Location rule
  • Set the application to: * . *
  • Select the "Use Current Monitor" option
  • Click OK

But, I personally use WIN+SHIFT+LEFT or RIGHT. Although it's not intelligent to follow my cursor or taskbar, it is still useful for me because it's the quickest way to move an application window over multi-monitors. This keyboard shorcut works without any 3rd party application.

Solution 2:

The microsoft/PowerToys team has added it as an experimental feature to the FancyZones module: FancyZones experiemtal feature that moves new windows to the currently active screen in PowerToys 0.24.0 beta build
