Windows 10: 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.

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.

 

IE 11 spellcheck context menu opens on the default monitor?

I'm having this same issue mentioned in the following thread except I'm on build 1803 of windows 10.

Redirecting

Was a solution ever found for this issue?

Doesn't matter if I change my default monitor if the IE window is on one of secondary monitor the context menu opens on the monitor that is set as the default display.

Does not happen with chrome or firefox or edge. Only occurs when using IE and right clicking a misspelled word.

Resetting IE did not fix it.

Any ideas?
