I can no longer access the charm menu on my second monitor

Windows 8/8.1 is like a significant other that is ugly but also has a great personality. You're shocked/appalled at first, but it grows on you.
Having an option to disable the left screen's charms window would be a nice touch nonetheless.

I've been using Windows 8 and then 8.1 for a while now and let me assure you, it hasn't grown on me

I agree with both statements. I train my customers to help them get over the "shock" of the system and all have moved forward with no complaints. A little bit more mods would be nice like the choosing where or if the charms bar was available via the mouse movement. I found a "charms" script that I used to put on my customers W8 taskbar, and they would click to access the charms bar.

This happened again today. Except it was my primary monitor. Once again a reboot fixed this.
Is this happening to anyone else?

I really don't use the charms, so even if it was happening, I wouldn't notice.

Yeah. Few things do I want disabled more than things that pop up and grab the mouse over other controls that I was actively trying to click on. Charms, I think, are the worst part of the Windows 8 experience, far worse than the Start Screen and other weirdness.

It happened again today. It seems to be related to the Mail App.
-
Which Mail App are they using?

Windows Mail App and its me using it. I use it 100 times a day, maybe more. This is happened to me 3 times and I think it was related to the mail app each time. I tried to kill it in task manager, but the didnt fix the problem. The mail app works fine, I just lose the ability to click the minimize or red X as well as losing the Charm Bar.
-
Its not really a big issue, I am just using this thread to document it. Hopefully it helps someone one day.

It happened again today. I can confirm that it is caused by the Mail App. It seems to be related to moving the app into split screen mode. I tried removing the Mail App and reinstalling it. I still needed a reboot to fix the issue.

I think you're the first person I've ever heard from that uses the Mail app.

If you'd like. It isn't an insult, at least. As long as it isn't http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=lotus notes

I am just kidding with you. I actually like the mail client for what it is. I know its no Outlook, but its fine for what I am using it for.
-
It works really nice for me because I have 3 Windows 8.1 PCs at home and one at work. It automatically syncs my sent and received email between the two and I dont have to have Outlook licenses on all 3 PCs

First that I have heard of for sure.

Not much of Outlook licensing concerns now that Office 365 gives you five licenses per user. And you can use OWA anywhere.
