I have it at bottom right on 2nd screen and if I close it and reopen it, it appears where it should.
When Windows starts up however, it's always on thr bottom right of the main monitor, so I have to move it.
Is it some sort of Windows not having fully initialised other monitors by the time the problematic app loads issue?
It would be nice in M$ fixed multi monitor ssues [ ::)

] but can CF be tweaked to fix this?
ie is the CM windows where it should be? No - put it there!

Yeah that's likely the issue. If you disable the auto start with Windows and start it manually after your system has booted, does it work fine?

I notice that sometimes even when logged in and the 2nd screen is up, the clipboard manager isn't showing as it's supposed to and has to be manually launched. Even then it goes to primary monitor not secondary as per OP, even though "Open clipboard manager at last location" is enabled.
Worth a second look.

Could you send me a debug log? Here are the steps:

On the ClipboardFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal"
Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
Reply with the file attached
Disable debug logging after sending the log

It doesn't look like there's a log in that zip folder, could you try those steps again?

Let's try that again! Enabled L1 logging.
12:40 - exited CB Fusion, restarted. No CB Manager appeared. Opened it. Appeared on monitor 2 then jumped to monitor 1.
Log attached.

Thanks for sending that over. It looks like you have DisplayFusion installed as well, if you exit that out does the issue persist? I wonder if there's a trigger or something in DisplayFusion that's catching that window and moving it

No triggers set in DF, but "Move new opened application windows..." was enabled.
I've disabled it and it seems ok so far.
However...CF is supposed to remember the last position for Clipboard manager.
Can CF and DF talk to each other ?
