Windows 11 multi monitor taskbar not working properly
This is a "known" issue with the release. It's noted on the release notes.
https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2021/06/28/announcing-the-first-insider-preview-for-windows-11/ (near the bottom of the page).
I have the same issue as well. Some other notes:
1. When I use "Autohide Taskbar" and try to "unhide" the taskbar on the 2nd/3rd monitors by scrolling to the bottom of the screen, it does not unhide the taskbar. It only works on the main screen.
2. The date, time, and additional icons do not appear on the 2nd/3rd monitor taskbars.
So picked up on two issues on this tread, the original taskbar not displaying all the icons properly on a second monitor and a question on 'can you change the taskbar alignment back to the left?'.
There is a bug with the first problem as stated in the tread, a interim fix which works for me & can last varying degrees of times, is under 'Taskbar behaviours', try unchecking & re-checking the options 'Automatically hide the taskbar' or 'Show my taskbar on all displays' etc. this kicks the taskbar back to displaying correctly.
Also under 'Taskbar behaviours' there is a 'Taskbar Alignment' option where you can change from Centre to Left.
Hope this helps people out, have a good day!
- Worked for me! Thanks
