Windows 10: Disable notifications from locking the task bar?

If you receive a notification, the task bar no longer automatically hides. Can I still receive notifications and have the task bar continue to hide, checking them when I'm ready, or is this a one or the other scenario?

Hope this helps.

 

Notifications/task bar

So I have a dual monitor setup and my main monitor is what I use to game but my notifications always pop up and I have moved the task bar with the notifications to my secondary monitor but after a few minutes the notifications will start appearing on my
main monitor again. Also sometime I'll lock the the task bars but the one with the notifications on will jump over to my main monitor out of no where while it is locked. I've been told to make my second monitor the main but then my games run like **** and
even when I make them windowed and drag them over to the main they feel super choppy. So my question is there a way to make my notifications and task bar stop jumping over to my main/gaming monitor even though they're supposed be locked?

 

App notifications locking task bar

I have set up my windows task bar to hide unless I hover close to it to clear up screen space, and it currently shows on the right side of my screen.

Some apps I have constantly on, like whatsapp desktop. The problem is that anytime anyone sends me a message, the task bar gets locked on the side of my screen until I check the app. I don't want to have to open the app each time someone sends a message/an
app has a notification to be able to use the side of my screen.

Is there a way for notifications to still show (have the icon turn orange) but not lock-on the taskbar?
