Dialogue Boxes Appear Behind Playback Screen

I have seen this posted awhile ago but still have not found a solution and I am hoping something new has arisen to solve this problem since the last time it was discussed.

I have a dual monitor set up on a Windows 10 machine.

The notification area of my Windows task bar is on the left (making this my "first screen" in a sense). Because of my setup in my office, the left monitor is my playback monitor which causes problems. Whenever I open a dialogue box, be it the Export Dialogue Box, or even the Playback Dialogue box, it opens behind my video on the Playback Screen. Because of this, I can't access anything. Anything I try to click on inside of Premiere gives me the "ding" that is is unclickable because I currently have a dialogue box open.

Is there any way to make Premiere show Dialogue Boxes over the main window? What makes it even more frustrating is that when I bring up the dialogue box to turn off the second monitor playback, I can't even turn it off because it is hidden behind the playback video!

Hi kveld3

Sorry for the issue. Are you using a custom workspace? If yes, try with a default workspace.

Have you tried to move the dialog box to right monitor before initiating playback? try with the preferences dialog box.

Thanks,

Vidya

I've also had no end of difficulty directing pop-up windows with Premiere. Currently, setting the "main screen" in windows has addressed some of the issues - most dialogue boxes appear on my "main" screen, but now some dialogue boxes will only appear under my fullscreen 3rd display. Oddly, "Add Track"s appears on my main window, while "Delete Tracks" will only appear on the monitor directly to the right of it. Any thoughts?

Shift + Right Click program on the task bar -- select "move" then hit enter (or click), then use the arrow keys to drag the dialogue box down to a monitor that does not have fullscreen playback.
