Virtual Desktop annoyances - Win10

Does anyone know how to make 'child' windows launch in the same virtual desktop as the parent window? For example, I have MATLAB running in a separate virtual desktop and I do other stuff on a different virtual desktop. Some of my simulations have pop-up windows like message boxes, figure plot windows etc. I'd like to make sure that these pop-up child windows that MATLAB launches during runtime launch/open in the same Virtual Desktop as MATLAB and not in the other ones that I use. It is really annoying and also confusing at times. I've tried to tweak windows settings, but the options seem to be very limited. If there are any FREE third party utilities that have worked fine for you, please let me know.

 

Praveen.
