    Does anyone know how to stop media player and VLC from playing fullscreen on my second monitor. This appears to be default behaviour for most media players if a dual monitor setup is detected.

    What happens it you just drag the player over to the other window in it's windowed form ?

    In WMP at least you could try messing in the options->performance->advanced section with the full screen video switch by enabling it for video.

    Now when playing a video press F11 and it might switch to Windowed mode.

    It plays windowed on the second display and fullscreen on primary display

    No change and F11 just fullscreens both screens

    Thanks for the reply

    What about Alt+Enter ?

    Might be full screen video mirroring at work on the graphics card as well you have to disable that in the graphics cards control panel. It's buried down there in the settings menu for NVIDIA cards I'm not sure if it's exposed in the new control panel you might have to switch back to the old one.

    ATI's I think was called Theatre mode but they might have dropped that.
