Description

### Description

Element starts on the wrong monitor. I always have to drag it to my secondary monitor after starting it. It doesn't seem to remember whereabouts it was when it exited.
I'm not using virtual desktops on this pc, but I suspect it also doesn't remember on which virtual desktop it was exited.

### Steps to reproduce

- Start Element
- Drag to secondary monitor
- Exit
- Start

Element will start on primary monitor, even though it was exited while on the secondary.

Logs being sent: no (not relevant)

### Version information

- **Platform**: desktop

For the desktop app:

- **OS**: Windows 10 20H2
- **Version**: 1.7.14
