Issues loading desktop with Q4OS 6.1 Andromeda and KDE

Hello support team and other users,
I have an issue with loading the desktop after updating to Q4OS 6.1 Andromeda. The main screen is a 32" Quad HD screen in horizontal position, the second one is a 19" vertical monitor. When I boot up, sometimes everything is fine, the desktop appears on both sreens and the taksbar is on the primary screen. The other times there is a part on the 19" screen black, you can move the mouse in this area, but no context menue is shown. Sometimes after standby, the taskbar appears on the smaller (and faster) screen and the main screen is black.

Using "pkill -9 plasmashell" solves the issue even on startup or on resume from sleep mode. So I think it is an issue with KDE 6.3.6.

Is there any permanent solution to load everything correctly in each case?

Thanks in advance looking into this!

Best, bassman

Welcome to the forum

I have an issue with loading the desktop after updating to Q4OS 6.1 Andromeda.

What system did you upgrade to Andromeda from ?

Thank you! I did a clean install but backed up my data from Aquarius.

The issue is not solved. I did not update the system from one version to the other, I did a clean install of Andromeda and since that, I have this issue.
I used  Aquarius for a long time and never run into issues with the screens/desktop.
