*** LaunchBox/BigBox Not Following Windows Monitor Order: Any Solutions? ***

[Sbaby]

I use the official Windows identification, which assigns my four monitors exactly as I wish: the main monitor (1) is in the center, while monitors 3 and 4 are placed on the sides. I also have a HDR-TV (monitor 2) connected via HDMI, which remains off most of the time, but which I turn on occasionally to play games from the couch, using the WIN+P command and selecting the option to use only the second screen. This way, the HDR-TV automatically becomes the main monitor (1), allowing me to play games without any problems.

Without LaunchBox or BigBox, all games and emulators work perfectly on the correct monitor, so problems occur only with these programs. Although this configuration appears stable on Windows, LaunchBox does not seem to detect the order of the monitors correctly. I noticed the problem using a display identificationwith with plugin "LaunchBox Multi Monitor and BigBox +3rd monitor plugin " (by @JoeViking245), the numbers assigned are different than the official Windows numbers. For example, if I use the three active monitors, BigBox often starts on the wrong monitor. The strange thing is that when I launch a game, it still opens on the correct monitor, but on returning to the BigBox menu it switches back to the wrong monitor.

 

In the past I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting all monitors, resulting in a temporary solution, but on restarting LaunchBox reverts to ignoring the order of the Windows monitors. I believe this may be causing the unfocusing problems and crashes I have been experiencing. Does anyone have suggestions on how to permanently resolve this situation?

It would be helpful if some administrator would consider studying this problem to find a permanent solution. Thank you!

I will add an additional consideration :

As you can see from this image, in BigBox display 1 does not correspond to Windows monitor 1, which should be the central monitor. You might suggest that I set monitor 2 in BigBox so it would become the cetral one, you would be right but this would lead to a problem: if I decide to turn off the three monitors and activate only the TV, I would see a black screen because the TV automatically becomes the main monitor (1). This is confusing and makes it difficult to use the system correctly depending on the desired configuration
