The situation: Game moves to secondary monitor after waken from "monitor sleep after x minutes"

so i have poe on monitor 1, i have a secondary monitor for browsing, and a third tv acting as third monitor i use for watching stuff on the sofa.

my setting is screen goes to sleep after 2 hours, and it never hibernates or turns off harddisks.

my problem is everytime the screen goes to sleep, and i wake it up moving mouse or hit anything on the keyboard, all screens wake up and poe is now on secondary monitor on "extend" setting which is to the right side of my monitor.

I have done the following:

-Set my monitor 1 as primary in both windows display settings and nvidia panel
-Updated all drivers manually (habbit, not just for this matter)
-deleted gray php monitors in control panel

what i want help with: After returning to computer with sleep screens and wake them, poe stays on monitor 1 and not move to monitor2

i tried google i didn't find anything that can fix it so if you can fix it pls just say how

Isnt there a button combo to press to switch a window to another monitor? Like ctrl shift windows key and a arrow key or something similar

If someone can come up with this command yeah it will be useful, but what I wish can happen is just not to have this problem at all in the first place

Would just turn off the "monitor goes to sleep after X amount of time" Twisted. If you aren't leaving your computer on all night long then you aren't hurting it in the least by just having it on while you're using your computer. Just manually hit the power button if it drives you crazy to have it on while not using it maybe? I don't know your setup but both of my monitor buttons are easy to get to.

this works too, but am very lazy to manually turn on/off every screen and sometimes i planned to afk for 15 minutes and it will turn into away 24hours lol, so i kinda need it auto

edit:

what im already doing in the past is just (window+p) until eveyrthing kicks back to primary, then just choose extend again.

but really there should be a way to make poe not bounce to screen 2, not sure whats doing that

i need to use windowed fullscreen so i can use extend screens without minimizing the primary screen playing poe when i need to, and yes the primary is 1440p/144hz, secondary and tv is both 60hz/1080p, however the secondary screen is on progressive 1440p set with nvidia panel because i prefer it looking the same ratio when sitting next to primary, so when moving one thing to another screen back and fourth it will be on the same level of height and also more things can fit into the screen.

My guess is that this is related, try switching resolutions, lose the progressive 1440. Also do u have a DP cable and hdmi for another screen? Different slots? Switching may help, trial&error
