Dual monitors on the Windows side issues.

Maybe this isn’t the right place to post about Windows, but it’s on my hackintosh, and the windows community has no answers for this issue it seems

The problem is when I plugged my living room TV(secondary display) into my GTX 660 via hdmi alongside my primary display via DVI in the other room, I will open an app even while the secondary display is off and it will still be opened in the secondary display not letting me view it in the primary display... And this is all in screen mirroring mode, so it’s supposed to look at the same screen either way

This issue was actually one of the reasons I made a new install of windows only to find I still have the issue, apparently this has been a thing since windows vista that a lot of people have had problems with. Maybe some of the hacking community has dealt with this and knows some workarounds?

Here’s a couple forums further explaining the issue if interested:
