Hi, since the last plattform update the menu opens on the correct monitor on one machine, but on the wrong on another. I investigated and found, that the LastMonitor setting is shared between machines. If there are differences with the amount of monitors or just their numbering of the graphics card this will open the menu on an unwanted screen.
Would it be possible to change this setting per machine, so it remembers the correct monitor for each one, or alternatively a possibility to disable this setting?

Yeah, I think it makes sense to add it. I've implemented it and will include it in the next release.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
This is now implemented in PA.c Platform 29.5

This feature is acting strange for me. If I look at my PortableAppsMenu.ini, I have two entries:
LastMonitor=1
LastMonitor-COMPUTERNAME=1
This is correct, and is the main monitor on my computer.
I haven't quite figured out exactly how to replicate the problem yet, it may have to do with letting the displays turn off while the machine goes idle, but the LastMonitor-COMPUTERNAME entry keeps setting itself back to 0, which places the menu on my secondary monitor.
So, occasionally, when I sit back down at my computer, the menu pops up on the wrong screen and I have to drag it back, or exit the launcher and set the .ini value manually, then restart.
Maybe one monitor goes to sleep before the other, which causes Windows to think there's only one monitor available, or something like that?
