Hopefully someone can help with with this.

I have a multiple monitor setup in windows 10. I run the client in windowed mode across three monitors. However, when the client opens, it starts with the upper left hand corner in the corner of screen 2, not screen 1, which is presumably because the task bar is only in monitor 2, and the virtual desktop x=0 position is probably there. How can I change the default start position of a windowed client so I do not have to move it manually every time I start the client. A google search of this kept giving me ways to move the windows inside eve and not the windowed eve itself.

If you want to run the client on second monitor then move the client to second monitor and choose second video card in video setting in the game

That is not my issue.

A single graphics card powers all three monitors. I have a laptop with a USB 3 port that bridges to another monitor, plus an HDMI port powering a third. Ergo, its not as if I have two cards powering two monitors, which yes, would be a simple fix.

Like I said, I think it lies in the fact the virtual desktop starts a x=0 at the second monitor because its linked to the task bar, which means there should be an .ini file that decides where the client puts the left edge of windowed mode, but digging through the configuration settings files, I can't find it.

You'll get 3 video cards in list in setting when you using 3 monitors with one card

Edit: yeah Window Mode will not work but you can try with Fixed Window. Both almost same. Mouse will move out the client.
