Windows 11 multi-monitor taskbar issue
Teligence1970 I fixed it on my system by toggling main monitors.
1: right click on any screen and select display settings.
2: I have 3 but usually keep my laptop closed and use dual, but just opened my laptop to make sure I would be toggling between different resolutions.
3: Once all displays showed up I toggled the Make this my main display around all three monitors.
4: Then toggled between Extend these displays and duplicate these displays, until the problem went away.
Hope this helps!
- This is a very unusual solution, but it somehow repairs the taskbar thickness issue. I had to do a couple times until it worked...
- Update: After applying the update KB5008353: back in March, I haven't had a problem since!
- This seems to finally be fixed in the update KB5008353:
Updates an issue that affects the auto-hide feature of the taskbar. The taskbar might not reliably appear when you hover over the primary or secondary display.
I haven't had any autohide issues since installing.Teligence1970 Glad that if finally fixed your autohide issue, ours is similar but not fixed. We have a shared office computer with two monitors and some not very tech savvy employees so we keep the task bar unhidden on both monitors. We leave it on 24/7 for updates and for people to log in anytime, after about 2 days with no reboots the taskbar on the main screen is unclickable. The second screen's taskbar still works fine and can open pinned apps. I'll have to try the unpinning and repinning of an app to see if that will refresh the task bar, but what we have done so far is just reboot late at night minimize the interruption. If anyone has seen a fix for this issue I'd be happy to learn it. Tried to tell them not to upgrade to 11 yet but do they listen to the IT guy ... nope just clicked a box that came up.
- Sounds like you need to setup Windows Domain Administration to then setup Policies to manage users' actions...
