I'm afraid you've already answered your own question dude! When playing fullscreen, the second screen will essentially be turned off. The only way you're really gonna get that working is with the game running in windowed mode.

Check out the PC Gaming Wiki (link below) to search up your games, see which ones have windowed and windowed baorderless modes.

There is indeed, how do you own Borderlands? Is it on Steam?

If so, right click Borderlands (within Steam) and click "Properties". Within here, find the option for "change startup parameters", and add the words "-windowed". You should then be able to toggle windowed mode using Alt + Enter.
