  1. Hidden Taskbars not showing when hovering mouse on Secondary monitors


    In Windows 10 I could hover my mouse on my second and third monitor and the hidden Taskbar would rise up from the bottom of the screen. In Windows 11 you can't do that? You have to right click and then click a bunch more times at the bottom of the screen. Am I missing something? Or did they design it this way?

    :)

    Taskbar

    Hi,

    If in case that you're not seeing any search bar or box on your taskbar, this option can be hidden. You can have your search box appear on your taskbar by following these steps:

    • Right-Click on the taskbar or Cortana.
    • Hover your mouse over Cortana, then select Show search box.

    Feel free to post back if you have other questions.

  3. How to move volume icon from primary monitor taskbar to secondary monitor taskbar?

    Hi WilliamSithiphong. I'm Reinald, an Independent advisor and a Windows user like you. Thank you for providing information on your issue, we are are happy to assist you.

    You have to switch the taskbar from the main monitor to the secondary monitor if you want your system tray icons to appear in your secondary monitor.

    1. Right click taskbar, make sure "Lock all taskbars" is NOT checked.

    2. Right click taskbar > go to taskbar settings

    3. Scroll down and make sure that "show task bar on all display is "ON" under multiple display.

    4. Hold left mouse click on your main taskbar then drag and drop it to your secondary monitor. Doing this will move your main taskbar to your second monitor along with volume icons and other system tray icons.

    At the moment, there's no option to move an individual system tray icon to the secondary monitor without moving the main taskbar.

    I hope this helps. Let us know how it goes and don't hesitate to ask if you have further questions. I will do my best to to assist you until your issue is resolved.

    Hidden Taskbars not showing when hovering mouse on Secondary monitors

    Color Changes to mouse hover

    I am running Win 10 Tech Evaluation and Win 7 in dual boot. That's fine.
    But when it comes to personalizing win 10, the background colour of the hovering mouse is black,
    so when it's hovered over black text, the text is obliterated.
    How can I change the hovering mouse background colour?

    Also, when in desktop, the RH toolbar's "speakers / headphone" and "new notification" icons do not show until the mouse is hovered.

    And finally, how do I put the taskbar's "hidden Icons" visible on the taskbar.

    Any help would much appreciated.
