Windows 10: Unable to drag window to second monitor

So my Windows 10 work computer was working fine yesterday, got up this morning and now my second monitor is all screwy. My cursor will go to it and be visible but when I try to drag a window to it, it vanishes. Like it's in the space where the display usually is but I can't see it on the second monitor, it just displays the standard home screen. I can click the task bar on the second screen, but it just makes stuff pop up on the first. I have my display settings the same as yesterday, extended etc. Any advice appreciated.

Dragging window to second monitor

Hello- I have connected a VGA / Hdmi cable from my laptop to a second monitor. The second monitor does show my pc screen, however, even after extending the display, I am unable to drag a window from pc to 2nd monitor. I have disabled Snap. I have double
clicked the title bar and then dragged to side of screen but it will not show at all on 2nd monitor.

I appreciate any feedback.

Thank you,

Lisa
