Second Monitor Windows + Left Arrow

MW Word docuemnts do not scale correctly

from Stardock Forums

I have Start 11 running.  When I have an MS Word document on my second monitor (LG UM3461) and press {Windows key + left arrow}, rather than moving the document to the left half of the second monitor screen, it expands the document to be much bigger than the screen. Doing the {Windows key & right arrow} executes correctly.  This doesn't happen with Excel (I haven't tested other Microsoft software).  Before installing Start 11, this issue with MS Word did not occur, and it only happens on my secondary display, which is set to the right of the main screen.  I haven't tested to see if the same thing happens if I have the secondary display set to the left of the main screen.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, I can not reproduce your issue on my system. Need to know more on your system.

  1. Windows 10 or 11? Also need its full version and OS Build number. Please use Winver.exe to get it.
  2. Start11 full version number.
  3. Any monitor manager application running.
  4. If you disable Start11 does the issue goes away? Here how to disable Start11 https://support.stardock.com/space/SHC/1335328771/How+can+I+disable+Start11%2FStart10+for+an+individual+user%3F

Thank you,

Thanks, I have confirmed that this occurs without Start 11 (although I only noticed it after loading Start 11).  Some additional research I have done suggests it is related to the way Windows hands off from one display to another.  I am looking into a suggestion to use the FancyZones feature in PowerToys.
