Expected Behavior
Each time opening the app, if a projector has been set up, it should appear as before.
Current Behavior
We use a program output on a secondary monitor. Sometimes it is there when obs loads, about 1 in 6 times we have to recreate it.
Steps to Reproduce
- Put program projector on secondary monitor
- quit app
- load app
...
Anything else we should know?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked OBS Studio log and reproducing the macOS sequence: place the program projector on a secondary monitor, quit OBS, and reopen it repeatedly. Trace the projector restoration behavior exposed by the reproduction; done means the configured projector reliably reappears on each launch.
