Default to single monitor

On connect I would like to default to a single monitor. In my case monitor 1

Duplicates 3
Select Default Screen

When opening a ScreenConnect Access session from a workstation with two or more monitors the session always opens on the monitor that is the main desktop (Screen 1). It would be great if there were a way to select which monitor a session opens on, rather than always open on the main desktop.

Thanks

Add ability to remember window preferences on startup

Partner would like option for product on startup to remember window preferences.

Remember the Windows Size set last time connected to specific sessions.

CW#7583976:

Have a way for ScreenConnect to remember the Window Size that was set when a host last connected to a specific host, and use that by default.

Quote from Mario C.

All my computers (200+) are dual screen and I'm already tired switching to the first monitor manually every time.
Please, implement this ASAP. Should be easy and fast implementation.

I agree, still waiting for that. I never use both 2 screens at a time and I have to switch too to the first screen on connect !

After two weeks of use :

1 - Still have some lags (one occur sometimes when I disconnected from a user account to log in another account in Windows 10, I have to click on the screen to see the Windows 10 lockscreen), but less since I changed default screen resolution to medium.

2 - Still wating for this basic feature (default view to only one screen)

Was this feature taken off the roadmap?

Asked the same thing before to see this topic. Published 3 years ago. Really ? So basic feature for this kind of product. I'm a Teamviewer user since 2 years. The price of their plans (I have an old licence with TeamViewer 12, no subscription plan) forced me to look at another solution. Someone in other business talked to me about ScreenConnect (ConnectWise). Tested it 1 day. I like many features of this service, but there is two negative points :

1 - It is slower than TeamViewer to remote control guest that has bad Internet connection. Several lags with display even if I set the resolution to Medium.

2 - No possibility to show only one screen by default when the guest have two screens.

This morning, I will look at another solution to try...

How is this still pending review after two years! Many of my clients have two monitors and Control always opens with both monitors. This default function is worthless in my opinion. When the program opens both monitors both are too small to do anything, the Control program sizes the window to my desktop... but it is sized for two monitors so when I change it to a single monitor it stays small, making it equally useless until you either make the window fullscreen or waste time dragging and sizing the window to my screen.

The fact that this is still being considered is irritating. There are duplicate requests from people wanting this feature, multiple replies to said requests and plenty of upvotes... We need this to function in our jobs without having to stop and switch to a single monitor and resize the window each time. I don't care if it is a setting you can turn on or just the default way the program should function but I have used plenty of other remote support apps and not one of them opens to multiple screens as the default option... because no one uses it that way!

It'd be a great option that could save me clicks.  With 3 monitors on the machine I remote into the most, I'm always selecting the main monitor.  Otherwise it's too tiny to do anything.

I would really like to see this as well (defaulting to one monitor)
