    Search box on both screens


    Hi. I need to make the search bar be full featured search box on both screens. As of now, if I select full search box, it's only on the main screen / main status bar if I move it. The second one will only have the search icon.From what I know - this is possible, and I had it that way previously. It reset for some reason when I had the Explorer process freeze and restarted. I'm inferring that it can be fixed via the registry - the question is how.I am attaching an image with proof of what it looked like. It happened with no Windows updates, no reboots, I don't understand the cause.

    :)
