Context menu of a browser on my middle screen opening on my laptop screen. But also hovering a link on a browser on my laptop screen, makes the tooltip show on my middle screen.Setting the laptop screen scaling to 100% does solve this problem, but I can't read anything on a small 4

    Windows 11 - Multiple Monitors - Context Menu Displays on Wrong Monitor

    Context menu appears on the wrong screen.

    Here, in Edge, when clicking on the "Settings and More..." (elipses "..."), the context menu appears on the monitor to the right of the monitor in which I'm working.

  3. Menu dialog box displayed on wrong monitor.

    My computer has two monitors. Both have the same native resolution, 1920 x 1200. Many times when I move windows from one monitor to the other, the Menu bar drop downs remain on the original monitor. This happens with multiple, but not all apps. So, I'm not sure whether this is a Windows thing or not.

    My Computer setup:

    • I have two computers connected through a IOGear GCS1944 Dual View Display Port KVMP to the monitors, mouse and keyboard.
    • The primary monitor is driven from the Display Port on the computers, and the secondary monitor is driven from the HDMI port, through an HDMI to DP adapter,
    • My monitors are arranged such that the primary (1) display is at the center of my work area and the secondary (2) monitor is to the left. The setting are set to Extend these Displays.
    • When I switch from my main computer to a different computer and then switch back, All the windows are relocated to the primary monitor in the same relative position. Sometimes I hear the 'Device Disconnect' sound but I always hear the 'Device Connect' sound.
    • When I move the windows back to the secondary monitor, the Menu dialogs are still displayed on the primary monitor.
    What steps can I take to keep the windows on the selected monitor and prevent the Menu drop downs from remaining stuck on the wrong monitor.

    System: Windows 10 Pro, version 21H2.

  4. Windows 11 - Multiple Monitors - Context Menu Displays on Wrong Monitor

    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.
