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.

Taskbar will not display on second monitor. Newest Windows 11 build.
Edition Windows 11 Home
Version 21H2

Last night I had taskbar displayed on both monitors. This morning the second monitor no longer can display the taskbar. I have set it to all displays under personalization and Extend these displays set under System/Display.
It is broken. I can check the registry setting at Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\MMTaskBarEnabled = 1 and it just does not have any effect changing it to zero, reboot. Set it back to 1, reboot. The taskbar is just not displaying.
