How do I open a remote desktop session on a secondary monitor (in full-screen)? It always seems to want to open on the primary one and I cannot find a switch which lets me choose.
Is there a known solution or workaround for this?

I don't know if this helps, but in my experience, Windows tends to remember the monitor on which the app is maximized. Try opening RD on the second monitor, maximize it, close it, and see if it opens on the second monitor when you open it again. | |||||||||

Open the RDP file in a text editor, find the winposstr:s:0,1,xpos,ypos,width,height Put where you want the xpos and ypos to be in the RDP file and save it. You can then have the window open consistently where you want it. | |||

I found that if I move the remote desktop connection dialog to the second monitor and run it that it will open the session there. Then you can save that connection to a .rdp file and that should do it for you. | |||

Delete the old RDP settings (.rdp file) and re-create it using the monitor you need. So if you want it to appear on the second monitor, drag the RDP setup dialog to that monitor and when connected to RDP, minimize and drag the window which has the remote content to the second monitor, then close it. This worked for me. Other described methods failed. | |||
