OK, I spilt my water onto my desk. I cleaned it up. What I didn't realize is that more that I thought went ran off my desk onto my power supply, killing it. I now want to fix things as best I can with limited resources atm. My desktop and both monitors are cool. My problem is that I absolutely can't use the browser I normally use to shitpost here on one monitor. It goes to the second and no matter what I do, I can't seem to turn that off. WTF am I doing wrong? The monitor is not powered on or anything but I just can't tell my computer to stop fucking doing that. I tried restarting, going in settings, it just constantly opens up in the second monitor that doesn't work now because no power because I am a fucking retard.

Assuming this isn't a troll...

Before you start:
a) Make sure of the orientation of your monitors so you know what direction to move the window once you grab it.
b) Ensure the working monitor is set to be the default monitor in multi-monitor setup, you may want to Google this process for 10 since I think it has changed since 7.
c) Take your hand OFF the mouse and don't touch it until you're done trying steps 1-3; this is actually important since you can't see what you're doing on other screen and the mouse input can cause the process to fail for reasons which aren't entirely clear.

Now, to grab the window:
1) Alt+tab to window you want to retrieve.
2) Alt+Space.
3) Press M, and then use the arrow keys to move the window...

2) Alt+Space.
3) Press M, and then use the arrow keys to move the window towards the screen which is working.

If done correctly the window will slide across onto the screen that's on. Once it is over on the working monitor that should prevent the window from popping up on the other monitor in the future unless windows fucks things up again.

If 1-3 sound strange, try it with a window you can see first since it will make more sense once you do.

No I am literally this retarded, had a migraine this morning and couldn't get to the store to get another power supply. Will do this tomorrow after liturgy. But thank you that worked and now I have my programs on one monitor again, yay!
