    Windows taskbar keeps moving to main monitor not 2nd after reboot/restart


    Hello, I recently just bought a new pc and have a dual monitor setup. Both monitors are the same. Whenever I restart/turn off computer my taskbar keeps moving to the main monitor instead of the 2nd monitor I set it as. I have the taskbar locked. and everything else unchecked. I can't seem to find an answer. Could you please help. I'm running windows 10 pro

    :)

    Moving the taskbar

    Hi Kim,

    You can customize your taskbar to pin your favorite apps to it, move it to where you want to display on your screen, and specify how taskbar buttons group together when you have more than one window open. To address your question, we suggest
    that you follow these steps on how to move your taskbar to a different location on the screen:

    • Open Settings and choose Personalization.
    • Select Taskbar.
    • Under Taskbar location on the screen, click the drop-down menu and select
      Bottom.

    Keep us posted if you need additional help.
