    Hello, I confirm that my game works in multi display mode in Standalone Build only, in UWP Build the same game and code doesn't works and the screen display flickering.

    Next the code that I'm using to show multi display camera on my game, the second display, if exist, is activated one time and, if there is a second display monitor, main camera show the game on main display and secondary camera show the game on the other display;

    Thank you very much, Cheers…

    So there is a catch... on UWP, there are no APIs currently to move Window or affect where it spawns (we gave fierce feedback to Microsoft on this a while . This, unfortunately, means that the window will just spawn on top of already existing display. Microsoft is adding new APIs for this in an upcoming windows update, but for now the only workaround is moving the window manually (and it's not a workaround you can do as a dev).

    @Varaughe Do you have a link or suggestions on how to get that ("Render to external window") to work in UWP builds. I purchased it to use as a workaround as you suggested. It seems to work well in editor, however I cannot seem to get it to do anything from within a build.
