Icons move to secondary screen during big picture and won't return after I exit big picture
Hello, I have my TV connected to my PC as secondary screen. When I switch to Big picture, I have it set to use my TV, which results in steam temporarily making my TV the primary screen and my monitor secondary.

The problem is, that when I exit big picture mode, my icons stay on the TV, even though it isn't primary screen anymore, because my taskbar moves to my monitor screen. And since my TV is quite far, it is really annoying to drag the icons back.

Is there any way I could fix it other than unplugging the TV either physically or through screen resolution settings? I just want the icons to move back after I am done with big picture mode.

Thanks

It has something to do with the resolution.

For example, if your TV is 4K and you're using 1080 resolution, it will make the picture 1080 and scoot everything over to the 2nd monitor.

Happened to me when I played games on my 1440P monitor using 1920x1080 resolution it would push all my stuff over to my 2nd monitor.
