Windows 11 multi monitor taskbar not working properly
The Windows 11 multi monitor taskbar is not working properly. The taskbar is visible on the secondary monitors but seems to have little functionality or is "broken". Tested this on multiple systems. ...
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).
After reading all the posts I realized that it's a known bug, I was able to fix the issue for now by myself.
Steps to get the Taskbar working on 2nd display monitor:
1. Go to Taskbar settings.
2. Expand Taskbar behaviors submenu.
3. There will be a checkbox on option- Show my taskbar on all displays with further down menu to select where do you want to show it.
4. Uncheck the checkbox and check it again.
It just removes the taskbar on 1st uncheck and it kind of refreshes the taskbar and all the icons are displayed now.
NOTE: I have not restarted my computer as of now, so I don't know if it will be there after restart or not. But doing it again will not be a hassle.
I hope it helps 🙂

For my case, it doesn't work. In fact, if I do this once it's functioning properly, it actually causes the problem.
Appreciate the suggestion, though.

- What kind of problem you are facing after doing this?
- Taking the steps you mentioned breaks the autohide feature of the taskbar on my second monitor if it's already working.
