Windows 10: Win 11 Multiple Monitors - context menu on Monitor 2 pops up on Monitor 1?

So in the instances that I need to right click an item on monitor 2 and pull up a context menu the context menu is never present on the 2nd monitor, rather it appears somewhere on the 1st monitor. Obviously this is a bit of a problem and I don't see people specifically mentioning this issue. Is this isolated to me and if so any idea of a fix? I've attached an image scanning both monitors on extended display and you can see where the context menu is actually popping up and it would appear to be showing up on Monitor 1 where it SHOULD show on Monitor 2, just not ON Monitor 2.

:)

 

Change monitor 2 to monitor 1 and make it stay.

I did as you suggested, but the problem was not resolved. Windows detects the monitors just fine, but I need to switch monitor 2 to be numbered monitor 1. The main diplay has not effect, as once monitor 1 is turned on monitor two looses display.

 

Spell checker suggestions appearing on main monitor in multiple monitor setup...

How strange. I see that when I have a text on my right monitor and several words I can use the spellchecker on, the position of the spellchecker suggestions (context-menu) that appear on my left monitor (the main monitor) move around with the position of
the word on the right monitor as I right-click each of them.

If I move the monitors around, so that I place the main monitor on the rigth side and the other one on the left side (2-1 instead of 1-2) I still see the left monitor appearing as number 1 when identifying the monitors..

I then tried to set monitor 2 (rigth) as the primary, and then the entire problems switched around. Now the context-menu only appears on the right monitor.

All this only proves that the code behind the spellchecker/IE11/Win10 is hellbent on using the primary monitor and the primary monitor only.

Do you have access to anyone in the developer team (is it called that?) that can answer this? Basically I am after someone just saying "It's by design" and then I am ok with it. I don't believe this has anything to do with any third-party software or anything,
but as long as no one just says it, people will try to fix it...
