Steps To Reproduce

Additional Information

Suggested fix:

Use the cursor position or last active window to determine the active screen. This is a commonly used technique.

POINT point = { 0 };
MONITORINFO mi = { sizeof(MONITORINFO), 0 };
HMONITOR hMonitor = 0;
RECT rcArea = { 0 };

GetCursorPos(&point);
hMonitor = MonitorFromPoint(point, MONITOR_DEFAULTTONEAREST);
// hMonitor = MonitorFromWindow(GetForegroundWindow(), MONITOR_DEFAULTTONEAREST);

if(GetMonitorInfo(hMonitor, &mi))
{
    rcArea.left = (mi.rcMonitor.right + mi.rcMonitor.left - current_form_width) /2;
    rcArea.top = (mi.rcMonitor.top + mi.rcMonitor.bottom - current_form_height) /2;
}
else
{
    SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETWORKAREA, NULL, &rcArea, NULL);
    rcArea.left = (rcArea.right + rcArea.left - current_form_width) / 2;
    rcArea.top = (rcArea.top + rcArea.bottom - current_form_height) / 2;
}

rcArea.left and rcArea.top will now contain the optimal startup position of your window.
