Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need more information first.

  1. Your Wondows full version and OS Build number. Please use Winver.exe
  2. ObjectDock full version number.
  3. Your multi monitors setup information.
  4. Does the Dock move to correct monitor if you do a Restart Explorer.exe: Refer here on how to restart explorer.exe: https://www.howtogeek.com/198815/use-this-secret-trick-to-close-and-restart-explorerexe-in-windows/

Thank you.

@jim sirry

Have you open settings  => position : Change monitor and select the screen you want ? 

I had the same issue as you, but doing that fixed it for me.

I believe poster was referring to this setting. This should be one of the first place to look at and try resetting it.

Thank you,

yes i have to do that several times daily  Is there a method of purging OD and installing OD plus as I had it before several things are missing from this "new" version  such as the search docket and flyout menus

Thanks Basj I used the purge and installed OD plus v2 and its working perfectly. OD 3 just did not work on my machine created too many problem and was not as configurable. But please let the support team know I thank them for their effort

Great to hear that. Just know, ObjectDock 3, by design, disabled some features known to work on OD 2. This was done to ensure OD3 fully compatible with current and future Windows 10 and 11.

Thank you,
