System Information
Operating system: Win10
Graphics card: 2080 Super, 2080 Super (two monitors, each monitor plugged into a different GPU)

Blender Version
Broken: (example: 2.80, edbf15d3c0, master, 2018-11-28, as found on the splash screen) 2.82a
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected) Not Sure

Short description of error
When saving a blender file with a UI window open in secondary monitor, the blender file is unopenable. I get an error that says "Unsupported Card or Driver" and blender closes. If I Uncheck "load UI" witht he blend file open dialog, I can open the file as expected.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Load Blender with default scene.
Shift Corner Click on any window to pop open a new window.
Move window to secondary monitor.
Save Scene.
Close Blender
Open Blender
Try to load saved scene.
Expected result, scene loaded
observed result, Blender shows an error about unsupported grahics card or driver, and closes.
Error can be avoided if you turn off "load UI" from file open menu.
