    Move entire Start Menu to different monitor


    I have a dual monitor setup and all of a sudden, when I open the Start Menu, it appears on the second monitor. How do I move it back to the primary monitor. I am using Display Fusion to manage my monitors

    :)

    Thank you for your reply.

    This is embarrassing, but when I restarted Windows 10, the problem seemed to resolve itself and the Start Menu is back on the primary monitor.

    The Start menu should open up the same on every monitor (unlike old versions, Windows 10 every monitor gets a Start button). So I can only assume that Display Fusion is causing this behavior.

    Sounds like this is a display fusion issue. I have dual monitors - one my laptop screen and the other a free standing monitor - and have the freestanding monitor set as the primary display. The start menu pops up next to the task bar in the expected area.

    Thanks for your reply. I have been using this setup with Display Fusion for months and the problem just appeared today.
    Is there a key combination to switch Start Menu from one monitor to another?

    No key combo that I'm aware of. I can move the task bar around and the start menu goes with it.

    Question, could you show me a screenshot of both monitors at the same time?
