This post talks about few possible options and depending on the program you are looking to be launched full screen on secondary monitor, you can select any of the given below option.

• First of all enable both monitors in extended mode and then launch the desired program or video game and look whether it provides the option to be started onto secondary monitor in full screen mode.
• Launch the application, move it to the secondary monitor, switch the application to full screen and then close it. Now start the application again, does it starts in full screen mode automatically on secondary monitor?
• Can a Maximize Shortcut Key combination serve the purpose?
• In case you are looking forward for a solution for an applications or software with window, it might be worth to give a try and force a window to open on secondary monitor. Full Screen Video games work differently and may not have a window and hence this option may not work for games.
• You can open Windows Media Center in full screen mode on secondary monitor irrespective of the monitor on which you close the Media Center application.
