New VMs always open on switched off display

Post by sailingbikeruk »

I am using Virtualbox 7.0.12 - I have three physical screens connected to my PC one of which is a TV I use for watching streaming services and is usually switched off or in standby. It is NOT designated as the main screen in Windows Display Settings

Whenever I create a new VM, the first time it opens, it always opens on this TV screen (Display 2), I have to power the TV on, move the VM console to my main screen and turn the TV off, which isn't hard work but it is damned annoying.

Anybody got any ideas how I can force VirtualBox to open all new VMs on my main screen (Display 1) - the one marked in Windows as "Make this my main display" ...

Thanks
