================= 
I have Windows 10 machine that I connect to remotely from another Windows 10 machine that has multiple monitors.  When I initially connect, all the Windows from my previous remote session are on a single monitor.  I didn't have this issue when I remote into my old Windows Server 2012 machine.
Is there a setting that I can adjust to get the same behavior that I had previously with my Windows Server machine?

    Welcome to our new Microsoft Q&A Platform.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the update. May I know if you are remoting from two monitors win10 to a single monitor win10?
    If yes, this should be the expected behavior cause when I tested, all the applications were in 1 monitor while another only hold the desktop. At the same time, I could manually drag whatever app to the second monitor.
     
    Best Regards,
    Jenny
