Kicad 6.0.11 always crashes on my secondary monitor, I tried with 6.0.9 and I got the same behavior.
My OS windows 11, Nvidia Ge ForceRTX3070.
kicad runs well on my laptop screen and an example of this problem is also when I open a schematic to add a symbol and when “symbol windows” is moved to the secondary monitor, Kicad crashes.
Is this one of those dual display adaptor laptops?
Nvidia seem to have some driver problems
edit
See PCB, Schematics Editor hangs when using dual monitor
You can try to update your graphics card drivers to the latest version. If that doesn’t resolve the issue, you can try using an older version of Kicad that is known to be compatible with your system configuration.

Hi, I have Updated my graphics driver to Nvidia Studio, and now KiCad 6 works with no problem on my secondary screen.
