Whenever I run any program as admin and move it to my 2nd monitor, which uses the AMM taskbar, it will be on both the taskbars at once.

As you can see in the attached image I have League of Legends (the L icon on the taskbar) running as Admin. I have it open on my left monitor (my 2nd monitor) but it also appears on the taskbar of my main monitor. This was true for 2 other programs I tested. I tried running ActualMultipleMonitorsCenter.exe as admin but the problem still persisted. Is there any setting I can change in either AMM or Windows to change it or is this a known issue?

Windows 11, version 25H2
AMM 8.15.3

Hello, Peter

I apologize for the delay in replying to you.

Does the problem still persist for you in the same form?

I was able to reproduce the problem but only partially - I can see that it happens with Paint but not with other applications (Notepad, Firefox). What other applications you've tested this problem with for which the problem persisted?

Also, as I can see it only happens if the window initially opens on the secondary monitor, but not when I move it there later. And if it happens then moving the window to the main monitor and back to the secondary removes the button. Can you confirm this?

Could you specify the exact number of your Windows build (type winver in the Search field of the Windows Start menu, press Enter. The window containing the build number will appear).
