    Can I make the taskbar's location different for both monitors?


    I have 2 monitors and I would like to have the taskbar location to be at the bottom on my main and left side for my second monitor In my opinion I think it would look great but when I to customize it to my liking I cant seem to find a way to do it. If possible can someone tell me if it is possible or not?

    :)

  2. After reboot on a multiple display system, the taskbar location changes from "right" to "custom" and taskbar location is different on the displays

    Hello,

    This is a Windows 10 x64 Pro version WinVer 1903 and was a 100% clean installation (e.g. no partitions on boot drive at time of installation).

    I have a three to four monitor system. Typically it is 3 monitors with the 4th monitor going to a different system, but sometimes I use all 4 monitors.

    Before rebooting, I set the taskbar location to "right." I also notice there is no "custom" option. The options are top, bottom, right, and left. I verify all taskbars on all monitors is on the right side.

    After I reboot Windows, the taskbar for display 1 (also the primary) is still on the right. The taskbars on the other monitors, though, are on the bottom (e.g. default location). When I go to look at the setting for the taskbar location, I see a new option
    -- CUSTOM in the list. The list has 5 options, not 4 as there was before the reboot.

    NOTE: If I change the location to right and then check the location list, the CUSTOM option no longer is there.

    How do I keep the taskbar location on the right across a reboot.

    Thank you.

  3. Taskbar location

    Hi Todd,

    Sudden changes in the location of the taskbar can occur due to misconfiguration in Windows settings. But you don't have to worry, you can modify the location where the taskbar will be displayed. Follow these steps to change the location of your taskbar:

    • Right click on your taskbar.
    • Choose Taskbar settings.
    • Look for Taskbar location on screen. The drop-down button under it will let you choose your preferred location for the taskbar.

    Can I make the taskbar's location different for both monitors?

    Is there a way with Dual Monitors to place taskbar in different locations on each?

    I have been using Windows 10 Pro. I changed the taskbar setting to custom somehow yesterday, without realizing it. This morning when I turned computer on, the taskbar was in different locations on each monitor. Seems it can be done, but I was not happy
    with the placements so went in to edit and there was no option for custom? Was this just a fluke, or can it be done?
