Right clicking on Edge, menu appears on different screen, same happens for context menu

I have three screens and using Windows 10. When I right click on the right part of my main screen, the context menu appears on the third screen. The same happens on the left side of my second screen. This also happens for all sub menu items. For example if I click the three dots and go to "Tools" which has a sub-menu, the sub-menu appears on the third screen. This is extremely frustrating. I noticed it after the latest update.

I have tried all the basics including restarting my PC etc. to no avail.

    After updating my Surface Pro 9 today, the problem reappeared. It's a bit annoying.

    There was no Edge update.

    I rebooted the PC. This did not remove the problem.

    By repositioning my screens in the Windows 11 Screen setting, the problem disappeared.

    Perhaps this will help someone else. I was experiencing the exact problem. I would click on drop-down folders on the right-hand side of the favorites bar (in both Chrome and Edge) when the browser was in my center monitor and the drop-down menu would appear on my right-hand monitor, which happens to be my laptop's screen.

    I tried rearranging my monitors and even setting the resolution the same for all three monitors to no avail. When I set the Scale, however, to the same value across all monitors (I have three), the problem ceased to appear. Whereas my center and left-hand monitor were scaled to 125%, my laptop screen was scaled to 175% (Yeah, my vision is like Mr. McGoo's vision).

    I tested my result by scaling my right-hand monitor to 150% and keeping my browser in the center monitor. This resulted in only the very far right-hand drop-down folder menus appearing in the right-hand monitor. To me it appears that the greater the scaling difference between your monitors, the more pronounced and apparent the problem.

    Good Luck!

    Just found this thread. This defect has been driving me insane for weeks now.

    I've got 4 displays - (see snip)

    1. Slightly larger than 4k, 15.6" screen (dell laptop) - 225% scale
    2. FHD screen 24" - 100% scale
    3. 4k 32" screen - 100% scale
    4. FHD screen 15.6" (portable) screen - 100% scale

    The primary screen (with full taskbar) is #3.

    I typically keep Edge on #2 and right click menus ALWAYS pop up on #1. BUT if I have edge on #3 or 4, then the right click popup is in the correct place.
