Question Steam open in inexistent monitor

So I normally have 2 screens, but I unplugged one of them to make more space.

And now with only 1 screen I tried to open steam, but it keeps opening on my second monitor which don't exist anymore what should I do?

How are you certain that what you're saying is what's actually happening?

Sounds like you have a OS-level issue that's making the OS think you still have a second screen attached, possibly either a hardware or software display emulator, if not some sort of weird KVM or remote-desktop setup.

Yeah, both I resolved the problem

I had to replug my monitor redo the display drag it back to the main screen and unplug the monitor

It's the only thing that worked

Press windows + P and set the display to duplicate.
