Windows 10: Start menu persistently opening by itself the second that I get to the desktop screen

Every time that I boot up my PC and type in my passcode or wake it up from sleep mode and type in my passcode the second that it gets to the desktop screen the Start menu opens by itself and it has been happening since I got my PC back in early 2021. I have no idea why this is happening. Does anyone have any possible explanations/solutions for it?

Taskbar hides and shows itself after opening start menu.

Steps:

1. Using HDMI for a second monitor.
2. Open start menu using the icon.
3. Close start menu using the icon.
4. Click anywhere other than the task bars. (e.g. an open window, the desktop, even the first monitor's desktop)
   
5. Taskbar on second monitor slides down to be hidden.
6. Taskbar then immediately slides up to reappear.

If after closing the start menu (step 3), you click on the taskbar, then click outside the taskbar, this behavior does not occur.

Performing the steps on the main monitor's taskbar does not produce this behavior.

This has been happening for as long as I can remember using this laptop (~3years), with different nVidia drivers and Windows 10 updates.

Is there a way to keep the start screen open on a second display?

I am running Windows 10 Pro on a desktop PC with 2 displays (extended). With Windows 8.1, I could keep the full screen start menu on the second display and work on my primary display. Is there a way to do this with Windows 10?

If I open the start menu on the second display, clicking on anything on my primary displays instantly closes it. Being a desktop, tablet mode is not available as an option. Is there a way to persistently see my live tiles on the second display and work on
my primary display?
