    There's no way of having separate desktops on standard windows.
    Yes there is, there has been since Powertoys for Windows NT4 was introduced by Microsoft in 1998.

    Try pinning the app to the taskbar in the 2nd display, I was told that makes the app open on the 2nd display when clicked on.


    You were told wrong

    You just made me look at my setup. Same premise - 3 screens including laptop. I have one Display Port and one VGA conection from the docking station.
    If I undock and then put it back everything moves back to where it was on the extended display screens. Running Win 10 and it does it by default on mine.

    That could be the difference then, I'm using Windows 7 Pro.
    It's not that much of an issue, just an annoyance having to drag everything back when I re-dock my laptop.

    Wonder if there's a setting somewhere that needs a tweak???
