Crash when moving checklist (or another auxiliary window) to my second monitor
as the subject says, I have a dual monitor setup. my main monitor is a 1440 and my second which I don't use for gaming is smaller, just 1280/1024.
I want to use it in FS2020, (I have it in win10 extend mode) and move my checklist or map over onto it, but when I do, the game freezes. Can anyone else with a second monitor confirm this?

Nevermind, figured it out. Just have to hit the 'maximize' button in the corner and turn it into it's own Win10 window, then drag it over to the other monitor and it works fine.

Nope, it's crashing again. By crashing, I mean freezing up. Now every time I open my progress on one of the bush flights, I immediately lock up, as I saved it with my Navlog on my second screen. I have to ctrl-alt-delete out and kill the program.

Mine’s been working OK. 2 identical monitors 1 over the other - extended. No issues moving windows (Nav log and VOR), having Google maps open, and clicking/zooming between them.

Sim works fullscreen or windowed. Only issue is restablishing focus on the sim after clicking away.

I figured it out
My secondary monitor is not HDR but my main one is, so I play with HDR on In Windows settings. So it’s trying to send an HDR signal to a non hdr monitor.
