Does it matter what you do when you open the Start menu on the second monitor? (e.g. launch an app, or just close the menu?) ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-opening-on-wrong-monitor-after-w10-creators-update/?ID=3c5414fe-41b4-43c9-af47-893cafa0b106#8 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 16:53:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-opening-on-wrong-monitor-after-w10-creators-update/?ID=3c5414fe-41b4-43c9-af47-893cafa0b106#8 DisplayFusion This issue still open?

Setup: Two monitors, DF taskbar on secondary, Windows taskbar on primary.

Normal Behavior:
Start menu opens on active monitor in response to Start key being pressed; Start menu opens on monitor on which Start Button is clicked.

Observed Behavior:
Start menu opens as described above, until I click the Start Button on the secondary (DF) monitor. At that point, all attempts to open the Start Menu from the primary monitor (clicking button, keyboard key) result in the primary Start Button highlighting as in mouse-over, but the DF Start Menu displaying on the secondary monitor.

Resolution:
Manually click the Start Button on the secondary monitor, then hit Escape. Start menu will now correctly open on the primary monitor again (until it's opened on secondary, at which point it starts stealing focus again). ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-opening-on-wrong-monitor-after-w10-creators-update/?ID=3c5414fe-41b4-43c9-af47-893cafa0b106#7 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 15:15:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-opening-on-wrong-monitor-after-w10-creators-update/?ID=3c5414fe-41b4-43c9-af47-893cafa0b106#7 DisplayFusion Hi, just adding a +1, I think -- the start menu always opens on the left-hand monitor, with one exception: if the menu is already open on the left monitor and I click the icon in the right monitor's taskbar, then it closes the one on the left and opens it on the right.

Thanks!

UPDATE: A little later the same day it started working. I can't think of anything I did that might have impacted it. It was not working as described above, very consistently, and at some point I realized it was working as expected. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-opening-on-wrong-monitor-after-w10-creators-update/?ID=3c5414fe-41b4-43c9-af47-893cafa0b106#6 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 20:09:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-menu-opening-on-wrong-monitor-after-w10-creators-update/?ID=3c5414fe-41b4-43c9-af47-893cafa0b106#6 DisplayFusion Not yet, sorry.

I've got a 5 monitor setup with 3 monitors being in surround and the surround it split into 3 parts. When I click start on any of the surround monitors it opens the start menu but on the leftmost monitor not on the monitor I clicked start on. ]]>
