Task bar on 2nd screen doesn't rise up

[jimbidf]

Hello,

I've upgraded to Windows 11 yesterday, and I have an annoying behavior:

My taskbar is configured to hide automatically, and it behaves properly on my main monitor.

But on my 2nd monitor, my taskbar doesn't rise when I move the mouse to the bottom, unless I right click - which also obviously brings up the context menu.

This appears to be a bug. I tried playing with the taskbar settings, but nothing had a different effect.

Does anyone else experience this?

Hi @jimbidf,

Please follow the steps below to configure the Windows taskbar:

• Open the Settings by pressing Win + I
• Go to the following location:
  Personalization > Taskbar > Taskbar Behaviors 
  Check the option, Show my taskbar on all displays as shown in screenshot.Taskbar issue on 2nd screen

[#3]

It is checked.
The task bar does pop up if I right-click. But that is not the correct behavior.

@jimbidf This will reinstall start menu components and also reset the associated apps...

Start Powershell -> Start Menu -> Run -> taskmgr -> File -> Run new Task -> %SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -> Select "Create this task with administrative privileges." -> Click OK.

@Mousefluff Thanks, but it didn't really help. I doubt it has something to do with these errors, but maybe... I got them on several packages, but not on all.

After running it, I got the task bar to rise once, but then it didn't do it again. Running the script again produced the same results.

@jimbidf 

It says you have apps in use while this is running...

[#7]

I couldn't understand what apps those were. I tried shutting down everything except for services, and it didn't help.

In any case, I somehow doubt packages are the culprit here. I don't use and customization on my desktop. No plugins or extensions, except for maybe some developer tools. It all worked fine before the move to Windows 11 - and the problem showed immediately.

[#8]

Seems like the issue was fixed in one of the recent updates.
