Any way to automate 2nd client window on PC with 2 monitors after a reboot?

Ahoy,

I have an integrator asking about using the client to display different layouts on 2 seperate monitors connected to the same PC. Using Extended Windows desktop.

I understand the process of clicking "New" and creating a new window, and dragging the new window to the 2nd monitor.

Our issue is that the 2nd monitor is located far away from the 1st monitor. (hanging on a wall as a spot monitor outside of their office)

If power is lost, or a reset is done on the system, the 2nd monitor/window doesn't automatically launch.

Ideally we would have a way to push video and layout to a 2nd monitor without having to use a mouse and visually drag/resize etc...

The integrator likes to do this to save costs vs. using multiple computers to display, or the cost of a video wall.

If anyone has suggestions, I'd be happy to consider them.

Much appreciated,

Matt

Try autoit.

We have the same problem from time to time.

Hi Matt,

We have some undocumented Command Line parameters that you could use to open multiple instances on multiple monitors with specific layout:

Hi Matt Barber and @...,

The command-line options are now documented and can be found in the following support article: LINK
