External DMD issue under 32 and 64 bit

Hi
VPX 10.8.0-1408 is installed.
WIN10 PRO
My configuration:
32" playfield monitor
19" backglass monitor
PC:
i5-6400 CPU 2.7 GHz
Nvidia Geforce GTX 1500 Ti GPU
16 GB RAM
500 GB SSD + 500 GB HDD
My problem:
I am using virtual DMD on the 2nd monitor.
When I run VPX GL in 32 bit and open a table using normal VPMDmd, the DMD appears on screen 2. This is the good monitor, but when I save the DMD position as global setting, the DmdDevice64.dll file size decreases from 12.33 Mbytes to 3 bytes.
When I open a table using FLEX DMD, the DMD is displayed on monitor 1. I moved it to monitor 2 and then save globally. Then the size of the DmdDevice64.dll file changes from 3 bytes to 277 bytes. For both table, the next time I start the DMD, it appears on monitor 2.
When running the 64 bit version (GL64) on a normal table, the DMD does not appear on screen 2 but on screen 1. If I reload and save the global setting, the DmdDevice64.dll file size does not change (remains 12.33 Mb) and the next time I start the DMD will be displayed correctly on screen 2. After closing the board, the DMD will close.
If I open a table using FLEXDMD in 64 bit version, the DMD will be displayed on screen 1. I move it to screen 2, save it as global setting. At this point the DmdDevice64.dll file size does not change (remains 12.33 Mb) and the next time I start the DMD it will reappear on screen 1. After closing the board the DMD does not close.
DmdDevice is not part of FlexDMD. ANd since FlexDMD does not manage the output the bug is very likely on DMDDevice side
