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.

    Yay, fixed for me (for now)! I had to go from top-aligned to this

    (initially a far-bigger lowering of 1*, but then I moved upwards in microshifts until it broke again; this is as close to aligned as I can get it)*

    Note: This fix did not work for a co-worker, whose Teams right-clicks insist on appearing on his laptop. Well done, Microsoft!

    Yep! Just tried this and it worked. One of my screens was at 125% and I didn't know.

    Problem is in the scale of the displays.

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

    So, because one of my screens is a 15.6" 4k laptop, I cannot set the scaling the same as all the other displays. I would not be able to see anything on it.

    BUT I did learn that Chrome suffers this same defect. It isn't specific to edge. So it is probably something in the chromium engine itself.

    I noticed that this occured a while ago AFTER installing the latest Windows Update. The next update fixed this (unfortunately - I have not kept track of the KB numbers). Right after that the next update introduced this again which continues till date.

    I don't understand - why this is not fixed - how many people need to complain before this becomes a priority - it is a complete waste of time to have look for solutions and then being told to set the scale to 100% which will not work when the laptop display resolution is very high and the size not too large.
