desktop icons jump to my primary monitor after reboot
I have two monitors connected to my PC. The leftmost one is my primary
monitor. I would like to keep my desktop icons on the rightmost one. I can
drag them over onto the right screen just fine, and once I have done that I
can even do 'arrange icons by' and they will arrange themselves on the right
screen. But, whenever I reboot, upon arriving back at my desktop the icons
have all arranged themselves on the left screen again.

Is there anything I can do to make sure Windows doesn't reset my preference
of which screen should hold my desktop icons?

Thank you, but that seems to be just for playing videos, my problem is about
where my desktop icons are.
