This started after I rebooted my Windows 10 PC. When I run RetroArch, the xmb menu appears on my hdmi connected television as well as my DVI connected monitor. The display that is not indexed is darkened and inactive. When I move about the menu only one display responds. When content is loaded, the inactive display turns black and the last notification stays on the screen. This happens on the vulkan and gl drivers, but the d3d11 driver seems normal. It also doesn’t matter if I use the xmb or rgui. I have tried the July 16th and 17th nightlies and stock 1.77 installer, they all perform this way. Here is a screencap:
The side showing my desktop was displaying the functioning menu and the other side is the inactive menu. Here is the log using the vulkan driver:

I can give other logs if needed. I apologize for the lengthy post and if I have gone about any of this the wrong way.
