Probably been asked a million times, but, How does one switch the secondary display in lightroom from the monitor to the left of the primary display (the middle display on a three display system) to the monitor to the right of the middle (primary) display?  The monitors are designated in the following order from left to right......3,1,2.  This is a Windows 10 OS.

First go to 'Window - Secondary Display' and disable the 'Full Screen' submenu. That changes the secondary display to a window, that you can drag anywhere you like. You can use the secondary display window on a system with only one screen this way, and you can drag it to a monitor that is on the left of the main window as well.

Thanks, that works reasonably well.  The window won't stay there and pops back to the main (middle) display when the cursor is moved into the left screen, but it is an improvement.

I don't have more than two screens, so I can't try it, but perhaps you can lock the secondary screen on the right monitor by enabling 'full screen' again after moving the window. I've heard this won't survive a restart, but it may solve the problem that it pops back when you move the cursor to the left screen.

No, unfortunately, as soon as I go to full screen, it switches back over to the left monitor.
