My boot screen only shows on my secondary monitor which is connected via DVI. How do i change it to my primary monitor(HDMI)?

It's just a part of the video card where DVI is primary and HDMI is secondary (assuming that's how yours is setup) and that's why it switches over to HDMI primary on Windows load. For what I've seen of it (haven't really looked into it, my secondary monitor does the same) that HDMI can really never be primary.

I have this "problem" (can't say it bothers me, especially because with Fast Boot and an SSD my screens often take longer to start than Windows) too, and I can't find anything related to it in my UEFI and graphics driver.

With quick googleing I found two possible solutions. No quarantee on either thought. First is disconnecting dvi monitor for one boot and connecting after it. Other is disabling second monitor from gpu driver settings and enabling it. In those topics also was said that it could be monitor/gpu issue also. No telling which.
