In this article, we will discuss how to make Discord open on your second monitor on startup, as well as some troubleshooting tips for when Discord crashes on startup.
Setting up Discord to open on second monitor
By default, Discord will open on your primary monitor when you start up your computer. To change this and make it open on your second monitor, follow these steps:
- Open Discord and click on the “User Settings” icon in the bottom left corner.
- In the “User Settings” menu, click on “Windows Settings” under the “App Settings” section.
- Scroll down to the “Advanced” section and toggle on the “Open Discord” option.
- Click on the drop-down menu next to “Open Discord” and select your second monitor.
- Close the “User Settings” menu and restart Discord.
Now, when you start up your computer, Discord should open on your second monitor. If you have multiple monitors, you can also choose which monitor you want Discord to open on by clicking on the “Open Discord” drop-down menu and selecting the desired monitor.
Troubleshooting Discord crashing on startup
If Discord is still not opening on your second monitor or if it crashes on startup, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
