Subject: Start Menu opening, positioning and search
Setup: 2 Screens, Main screen (Screen 1) in front of me, and secondary screen (Screen 2) to the left which holds the Start Menu Vertically on it's right side.

• WinKey on Keyboard opens the Win10 Start Menu on the bottom left of Screen 1
• Pressing the WinIco on the StartMenu though opens the Win10 Start Menu where it is supposed to be: Next to the WinIco to the left taskbar on Screen 2
• When the Win10 Menu is open (regardless of how it was opened or what it's position is), once i start typing, the Win11 Search Menu opens op on the utmost bottom left position, which is always Screen 2 on the bottom left

Got some some examples
Windows Key on Keyboard opens Start Menu on the other screen, search then goes there as well

[BourgeoisDirk]

And these are when clicking the Start Menu (so not using the windows key)
On clicking the Windows Logo, Start Menu does open correct pos
When typing to search, it's on the correct screen now, but in the bottom left corner.

pressing windows key opens the start menu on a different monitor is a duplicate of: #2517

when taskbar is not on the bottom, click on search and start typing. It then moves to the bottom.

That is a duplicate of: #1803
