your second screen uses a 144hz display, but in windowed mode it keeps switching to the main monitor.

The monitor's clock speed isn't the issue. It's more about resolution or the connection monitors use. If one monitor is HDMI and another is DP, you'll need third-party software or in-game settings to specify which monitor to use.

If Logical's idea fails, why not simply switch the 144hz monitor to act as your main display in Windows? You can still move your web browsers and other apps to the secondary monitor, as the system will retain that setting by default. It will function as your primary display without actually being the main one, if you understand what I mean.

You have the option to use your 144Hz monitor as the primary display, but this might cause the other monitor to turn off. Running fullscreen apps on one monitor while others display has been my aim since I started using multi-display configurations. So far, it hasn’t worked. Some fixes helped, but the outcomes aren’t worth the effort. I’ve spent about two weeks testing various solutions just to run two games in fullscreen on one screen and the rest on the others.

It's the issue with the alt tab during recording sessions.

Run the game you prefer at your screen's original resolution, avoiding fullscreen. This lets you move to the second window option. It can be frustrating at first, but you adapt quickly. Currently I use ACC in windowed mode on my main screen (insufficient power in the GTX 1070 to run smoothly with a triple screen without looking like the first Test Drive). I’m using MoTec software with my telemetry on one side and YouTube on the other.
