Playback on 2nd monitor not working

Despite having it enabled, full-screen playback on my 2nd monitor does not work when I boot up Premiere.

 

I have to go into preferences > playback > ok, and then it works. I don't even change anything, because it's already enabled. But for some reason, it won't work until I go into the menu and "ok" it again. 

 

Does anyone know why this might be happening? 

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

I just did those 2 checkboxes you suggested. 

 

Rebooted Premiere, re-enabled the monitor playback (it worked, as it should).
Then I exited Premiere, opened back up the same project, and the timeline didn't play back on the 2nd monitor. 

I had to go back into the playback menu and hit "ok" again - even though it was still checked (like in the image I posted).

 

Suggestions?

 

Thanks

Can you try and hold down "SHIFT" while launching Premiere and check the boxes
"Reset app preferences" (Backup Preferences first)
"Reset plugin loading cache"

Sorry for the frustration.
