Keeping open apps on current screen when adding a 2d display

I have a laptop to which I occasionally add an external monitor.

When I add that second display, mapped to the left of the regular display, all application windows are moved to the new display.

How can I keep all running apps (open or minimized) unmoved on the laptop display?

Plasma 5.16.5, Kwin 5.16.5, KDE 5.62.0

Avoid making the external monitor the primary one.


Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11
FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

As far as I know this is what I'm doing already.
