I recently added a second monitor with HDMI. My primary only allows DVI, and for some reason windows prioritizes HDMI as the primary monitor, so it identifies the secondary monitor as 1, and my primary as 2.

I've recently run into a strange bug where my desktop icons will always go to the secondary monitor, regardless of which monitor is set as the primary. I've tried multiple fixes without success:

1. Unplugging and plugging the monitor back in. Icons always default to the secondary monitor

2. Moving the icons over to the primary monitor. Icons will move to the secondary monitor upon boot or any screen refresh

3. Deselecting "auto arrange" for desktop icons; The icons will still go to the secondary monitor.

I can't figure this out for the life of me and it's driving me crazy. There's no reason managing your screen setup should be this frustrating...
