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.

    Having the same issue. I have found that switching which monitor is set as the "main" monitor and then switching back will stop this for a short time... it is reoccuring though. I have also tried reinstalling the graphics driver, which, again, worked for a short time before the issue started again. At this point, I have seen this behavior in both Chrome and Edge so I am wondering if it's a chromium issue...

    I'll add to this as I appear to have the same issue. It only appears to occur when I click below a certain part of the screen - about halfway.

    This happens with favorite dropdowns as well. When I scroll my mouse over where the menus actually appear, nothing happens. I cannot click on the sub-menu options. However, when I scroll my mouse over where the submenu should be, I'm able to select options and the options are highlighted based on my mouse position where the menu actually is.

    With right-click menu's it appears that I can select the menu where it actually appears rather than where it should have appeared.

    Not sure if this is what you were referencing.

    Hello, Smartax

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

    Hello, thank you for your feedback here on your issue, it seems that you right click on Edge and the menu appears on a different screen.

    In order to help you better, I may need to gather some information to do some research for you.

    1. what version of win10 do you have and the version of edge. You can take a picture or screenshot to point out what the problem you are referring to is like respectively.
    2. the exact connection of your screen, is it all HDMI or dp, is it all connected graphics card or is there a connected motherboard, etc. You can take a picture and share it here.
    3. In addition, open your settings - system - screen, screenshot here, for you to check.

    Of course, before this some basic update operation you can do once in advance, such as graphics card driver update, BIOS update and system version, edge version update.

    Best regards
