Windows 11 Taskbar stuck on left screen of nVidia Surround triple monitor setup
Windows 11 Taskbar stuck on left screen in nVidia Surround mode with triple monitor setup.
Below screenshot shows Extended mode. Center screen is primary screen. Side screens are extended screens. Taskbar is placed on primary screen in this mode.
Big white numbers are visible when nVidia "Configure" dialog is open. Identification is incorrect. NVidia dialog shows 123, big white numbers are 312.
Numbers in dark squares are from Windows 11 Display Settings after clicking on "Identify".
I suspect that nVidia has hidden sequence of screens somewhere, which is used in Surround mode. This sequence is not matching primary/extended screen setup of Extended mode.
Surround mode screenshot:
Unchecking "Desktop -> Surround Displays -> Confine Taskbar to Single Display" makes taskbar span across whole Surround desktop.
Proper center primary screen in (a) nVidia panel and (b) Windows Display Settings did not help.
Hope somebody experienced such phenomena and found solution!

Seems like whenever there is an Nvidia update my system has some quirks as well. Have tried numerous fixes. Last time I just shutdown the computer after Nvidia driver updated and then restarted. Then I checked to see what Windows said about the order of my displays first. I noted that the backgrounds on both monitors had defaulted to what the #1 monitor was. Then I checked the Nvidia program to see if the monitor / display numbers were the same as the Windows one. In my case shutting down completely and starting up again seemed to solve the monitor order problem. Previously I would find the Nvidia settings wrong just after installing an update. Apparently there are some processes that need to be completed by rebooting? Not a new problem here. I have an Intel based system with dual GTX cards and the drivers are usually very good. Just that the install process has some hiccups.
