I thought it might have something to do with my monitor placement. I went in to Display Settings and changed the order of the monitors, put #2 on the right and #1 on the left, but kept the #1 monitor as my "main display". Mind: the physical position of the monitors hasn't changed - not that the computer would know that - just the graphical display of the monitors in Display Settings.

Then opened Sigil - and it worked!!

Sigil opened on the right monitor (that is the monitor that is physically on the right even though it still shows the #1 monitor when I click on the Identify button in Display Settings) I attached an image to show the confusion between the #1 and #2 monitors.

My point in this detail is to show that when Sigil/Windows "thinks" the 2nd monitor is to the right of the 1st monitor, then it runs. When Sigil/Windows "thinks" the 2nd monitor is to the left of the 1st monitor it doesn't work. (This may also have been the same issue I was seeing before when I had the 1st monitor below the 2nd monitor)

Perhaps the choke point is the relative distance or direction from the original Sigil coordinates??

eg. if Sigil.ini initial coordinates are 10,10 but the child window is -3000,10 Sigil doesn't like the negative number. Likewise if the main window has an initial coordinate of -5000, 10 it chokes. When I swapped the graphical representation of the monitor positioning could it have changed the negative number to a positive number and made it happy?????
