Dual Monitor show wrong primary monitor

Hello

I have a new second monitor for my first time and started Mageia without problems.
The first time the primary screen with the task bar was set to my new monitor( BenQ )
with a higher resolution. My other monitor ( Asus ) was okay.

Now today after login the new monitor did not have the taskbar but the older one.
I look into the settings but the BenQ Monitor is primary monitor.!?
How can I tell mageia that I want the taskbar on that primary monitor?

Everything I found via settings display was okay for me.
Even rebooting did not solved this.

Via MCC I did not found any settings related .

Any suggestions?

Regards

There are no settings in MCC for that because that is usually handled dynamically by the configuration tool of your desktop environment. What desktop environment do you use, and what is the output of
Code: Select all
xrandr -q

And later reactivate the older.
