How do you get a window to open on the same monitor it was launched on?

I'm currently running Windows 10 on my laptop and have it set up with a monitor so that they are 2 different monitors. However, say I wanted to open a new Chrome tab on my laptop screen and I click Chrome on my laptop taskbar, if my last chrome tab was open on the monitor, it will open on the monitor. Not the display I launched it from. How can I fix this so that the display I launch a window on will in fact open that window on the same display?

    Thanks Claudio! I did see this particular post when I was doing a little research, however the software they promote to use cost $29. Looking for a free solution.
