You might right click the desktop and select "Screen Resolution". You can see one of the monitors shows a window open and possibly a blue outline. That is the primary display and it sounds like you need to reset yours to the correct monitor.

On my system, the task manager will open on the monitor it was closed on. I can't think of anything else to adjust.

Try this: make taskmanager active, then push Shift+Win+Arrow (right or left, depends where you want to move it to).
