I have a peculiar issue. I work in school and our history teacher has an interactive white board. The board includes its own computer with Windows 11 installed. I also connected a monitor, and I set it up for extended display so she can work while students watch a movie or something. Everything functions properly but she asked if I could make programs open on the display that was opened on the monitor. Let me clarify what I need and apologize for my weak English. For instance, she has the Chrome icon on both displays—one on the monitor and one on the white board. What she wants is that when she opens Chrome on the monitor, the window appears on the monitor, and when she opens it on the white board, the window appears there too. Now I understand that the most reasonable solution would be to simply drag the window where it needs to go, but since the monitor and white board are far apart and facing each other, it seems challenging. Is this something I should even try?

The highlighted portion reads as follows:
The underlined text is exactly how it's done.

Look there is one thing I need to clerefy on why I'm asking this. The teacher in question is bit older, she has been working in school longer than I have lived. Also Serbian elementary schools don't have that much of modern equipment. So basically all of this is just going over her head. I'm just trying to make it easier for her.

None of that alters the result.

A straightforward "no, not possible" would have sufficed. Appreciate your time.

He provided you with the solution. Using two monitors, you move the app to the desired monitor for opening later. Still, the whiteboard might not show up as a standard monitor.

I thought I understood how to handle that configuration, but the teacher seems to have limited knowledge. My question is whether she even expects me to perform something as simple as moving a window between monitors. I personally suggested dragging it, but she just said it's not possible—it's fine as is. It's similar to setting up two monitors with a whiteboard that's a large monitor with a touch screen. The Huawei board doesn't have the exact model information.

Create a program that replicates the mouse movements, keyboard clicks, etc., and generate a desktop icon to start the macro. You might also be able to run a script to achieve similar results when the computer boots up automatically. For example: https://github.com/hubertdungen/MonitorSwitcher. There are probably several ways to do this, and you can adjust it as needed...
