Windows 11 multi monitor taskbar not working properly
- Jul 02, 2021
This is a "known" issue with the release. It's noted on the release notes.
Announcing the first Insider Preview for Windows 11 | Windows Insider Blog (near the bottom of the page).
Here is a work around in the form of a bat file you can put in your startup folder
"copy %userprofile%\shortcut.name" "%AppData%\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar"
ping -n w 5000 1.1.1.1 >nul
Del "%AppData%\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar\shortcut.name"
it pins something to task bar, waits 5 seconds and unpins it, which kick starts the taskbar responding to the mouse on screen to
Or you can just point mouse at bottom of screen and right click and it will pop up as well

Yea i dont think they have addressed it yet, but they did seem to fix the issue where explorer would spaz and windows would start to drag slow, which had a side effect of not being able to click on things properly, i had a script to restart explorer.exe to dodge around that when it happened, i will have to see how that goes
Taskbar maybe next update, we can hope
