What area of the game / PPSSPP

Originally reported on Discord.

Found this bug by total accident since it appears the emulator "broke" then crashed which forced me to restart.
It seems to be a bit inconsistent as it didn't happen on my second/third attempt at reproducing it(however, it completely forgot multi monitor was selected in those cases), but happened in the attempts that followed.

Seems to happen with all backends.
A process of PPSSPP also lingers when you close it while the Use all displays option is on.
There are times it doesn't happen any longer and PPSSPP resets the option, though I can't consistently get that to happen.

What should happen

Included is a video of the problem, but normally, PPSSPP should be able to start after the option is selected on a restart.
(The PPSSPP window doesn't properly show up at the start of the video but that's just normal behaviour of Exclusive Fullscreen, I apologize.)
