THANKS!

I had the same problem - drove me nuts and changing the spaces setting helped except for one single session which keeps opening with both windows on one screen.

Any other suggestions where to look/click (:
I am not using any specific window configurations in Pro Tools and the specific session originated from one of my standard templates I also used for many of the sessions that work as expected

Dave ... since you're using 3 screens, what configuration are you using? (location of screens ... top, bottom, side?) And do you have a problem with plugin lists and busses going off the screen and not being accessible?

I use three screens. The two main ones are 24" 1920x1080 running at their native resolution. The third is a 20" 1600x900 again running at its' native resolution. The desktop has been dragged across just the main pair, and the video window dragged to the third. The system always memorizes this layout without intervention from me. Bus and plugin lists always show completely without anything missing. Pics show monitors and a screen grab of what I see with buses selected.

My 3-screen setup was a 27" on the desk(slanted like the Slate MTi, but not a touchscreen), a 43" above and another 27" up top. The parent window(for us Windows users) was stretched to fill middle and bottom screens(all running 1920x1080) with MIX on the bottom and EDIT on the 43". The top screen would host Memory Locations, Big Counter(if needed) and a large FabFilter ProQ3(on the master track) for the hi-res metering and spectral info. As for plugins list, honestly, its been so long its tough to remember, but I seem to recall the list would spill out nicely if I opened from the middle screen. But ever since we got the plugin search option, I never look at the list view

I set the EDIT window to show no sends, no inserts and no IO and let the MIX window show that stuff.

It's 2023 and Pro Tools still doesn't support multiple monitors properly!

I've been running 5 monitors for years without issues. (3 graphics cards)

3 over the console and 2 at the MIDI station.

What issues are you having?
