Windows 10 spell check menu position

I understand how spell check works in Windows 10 via internet explorer.  My question is that when I right click an underlined spelling error, the corrected spelling menu pops up on the far left of my screen, nowhere near my spelling error, sentence or paragraph.  This is especially annoying when using multiple monitors (though the issue happens when just using my native laptop monitor as well)

HELP!

Issue just started over the past 48 hours.  Issue is just with the spell check feature, not other menus.  Specifically, when using OWA2010 via internet explorer on an IBM Yoga 260 via Windows 10 OS with all updates installed through today.

Nobody has responded with any additional questions or solutions.  Not sure what you are following up on.  However, the problem still exists and I would very much appreciate assistance in correcting it.

Thank you,

You may perform a clean boot and check if the issue persists. A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows 10. For instructions, you may refer to this article.

In response to your questions.

The issue only happens while using OWA2010 in IE 11 on a Windows 10 Pro OS while using multiple monitors.

The Word application works as designed.
