Minecraft not opening in Main Monitor

When opening the Launcher and Game, both always open in Monitors not set to the Main Display. The main Game did not have this issue in the prior 1.21.132 version, as opening Bedrock directly ALWAYS opened in the Main Display. Windowed nor Full Screen matter.

This is no longer happening. Even if the side monitor is set to the Main Display, it continues to open in Monitor 2.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Have 2 monitors connected to PC.

  2. Set Monitor 1 as the Main Display.

  3. Open the Launcher, and Game.

Expected result:

The Launcher and Game open in the Main Display without any input.

Actual Result:

The Launcher and Game open in a different Display, necessitating constantly moving the Window back to the Main Display manually EVERY TIME they are opened.

Also, this is specific to Minecraft. No other program nor game experience this issue. They always open in the monitor set to the Main Display.

Edit: Looking at This Bug Report, I wonder if the reason the problem is happening because the game isn’t saving the settings for some unknown reason. Hence why the game constantly defaults back to a different monitor every time the game is started.

Hi!
Thank you for your report! 

Could you please provide more details or any relevant media files?

  • Can you record a video of the issue and upload it?

  • Could you please include details about your device and system specifications (RAM, CPU, GPU)?

  • Could you upload a screenshot from the Video settings?

  • Do you also use some non-standard display settings?

  • I don’t use any PC recording software; the Nvidia’s own system basically “locks” on the game itself rather than the screens at large, so I can’t use that.

  • Processor AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor 3.70 GHz
    Installed RAM 16.0 GB
    Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (8 GB)

  • If you mean Video settings from the game, I’m not sure how it would help; nothing in the game was altered between the 1.21.132, and the 26.0 update. I could provide my system’s video settings at the earliest convenience.

  • I shouldn’t be using anything classified as “Non-Standard,” the monitors I use are more standard TVs than dedicated Gaming Monitors. A SEIKI-brand TV, and a Sony VIZIO TV (I don’t know the exact models) connected by standard HDMI cables.
