Internet Browser opens only on viewer laptop
Quote from rmk29 on 12/11/2025, 07:05I have installed SpaceDesk on the laptop as the server. I have also installed it on a second laptop as a viewer. When I extend the displays using display settings and click on the Chrome icon on the main display/server, it opens only on the viewer laptop and not the main primary laptop. Any ideas why this is happening or how to correct this?
A few days ago, I did drag the Chrome browser onto the viewer laptop to make sure things were working correctly and to see if it would drag. Did this mess something up? I have reset the SpaceDesk settings on the server laptop but when the two laptops are connected, I cannot get Chrome to open on the main server laptop.

This happens because Windows remembers the last monitor where the browser is closed so it will open there the next time the browser is opened. You need to move the browser to your main display before closing it so it will open to your main display the next time you open it.
