Windows Desktop Player installs to non-existing display

Server Version#: Version 1.40.0.7998
Player Version#:Plex-1.86.1.4076-a3ab948d-x86_64
After installing the Plex Windows Desktop Player it starts on a non-existing display. When you hover over the icon in the task bar you can see the Player is running. Unfortunately there is no way to interact with it or to see it on the current display even though in the display setting, in Windows 10, there is only one display. At one time I had another display connected and at times did use it for displaying the Player, but have since disconnected the monitor and set Windows to have only one display. The Player insists to installing it using display 2 where there is none. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled many times to come up with the same situation. Please help, as I’m left with no alternative but to use the WebApp which is very cumbersome in comparison. I believe that if you would stop trying to predict which display the user is going to choose and allow the Player to come up on the display from which it is initiated, the problem wouldn’t exist. Thank you for your kind consideration in this matter.
