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.

    Problem is in the scale of the displays.

    If i put every screen on 100% the problem is gone...

    This fixed it for me too, seems this was the issue. One of my screens is a laptop, and was set to 150, dropping it to 100 made the problem go away.

    I have the same problem.

    Setting the scaling to 100% for all screens is not a solution if they don't have the same size or resolution, which is my case.

    As I haven't changed my display settings for years, this recent problem seems to be a bug and it's Microsoft's duty to correct it quickly.

    This worked for me, too. One screen was set to 200%. But I don't recall ever setting it to anything other than 100%.

    Spoke too soon. The 200% setting was on my Surface Pro which has such a high resolution that it is unreadable at 100%. Have to set it to at least 200% to read it. Now set for 225% for legibility and the menus are popping over there again (main screen is a 30" LG).

    My Surface Pro is on 200%, my LG TV screen on 150% and my Samsung MX279 screen on 100%. These are the recommended values, and if I change them the quality or framing loses quality.

    It worked like this until recently, but the problem is linked to a bug.
