Windows 10: I want to hide taskbar on my primary screen but not my secondary screen

Due to the fact I have an AMOLED screen on my laptop, I auto hide the task bar to prevent burn-in although I would rather have the task bar showing and displaying the time. My secondary screen is not AMOLED, so I would like to display the taskbar on it. Is there a way to do it? Right now they either both autohide the taskbar or they both show the taskbar, but I can't get the primary screen to autohide while the secondary screen displays the taskbar.

Dual displays can't hide primary display taskbar

I have tried the suggestions in the thread "can't auto hide secondary display task bar" with out luck. I have the latest nVidia display drivers and have two monitors attached. I have them set up as an extended desktop, but the Primary display will not
auto hide, although (this is the annoying part) the programs seen to think that the task bar is hiding, so the very bottom of the program running in full screen on the primary display is covered by the task bar. IIRC win7 and before allowed the programs to
run full screen when the task bar was NOT hidden but did not cover the bottom of the program.

 

clock on screen

Thank you for the prompt response.

To view clock on the secondary screen, follow these steps:

• Right-click the taskbar and uncheck Lock all taskbars.
• Switch the taskbars by dragging the primary taskbar to the secondary taskbar.
  
• Right-click the taskbar again and check Lock all
  taskbars.

You can still access Cortana by clicking the Cortana icon or Start.

Regards.

 

Windows 10: primary monitor taskbar not hiding

• OS: Just upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1
  
• Software: Display Fusion v7.2 (if meaningful)
  
• Adapter: NVIDIA GeForce 650 Ti
  

Yes, I upgraded the NVIDIA GeForce driver to Windows 10. I had to, as the only way to bring back the driver and get dual displays. The driver is fine, as are the monitor drivers.

I had the auto-hide feature working up until now. Now, just after upgrading to Win10, the primary display taskbar no longer auto-hides. The secondary display taskbar hides nicely.

If I elect to have only one taskbar, then the primary taskbar still does not hide. I can, however, auto-hide the taskbar for an instant if I uncheck the option to auto-hide the taskbar, click on apply, and click the box to auto-hide the taskbar, and then finally click on the apply button.

No other software is running, so that is not the issue. A reboot does not fix the problem. As far as missing network connections or other system tray issues needing my attention, everything is fine.

In searching articles, one person suggested the obvious: to click on the "Search the web and Windows" and then click away or click on the Start Menu and then go back to the desktop, but alas the taskbar still remains.

Did Microsoft actually test this feature with dual displays?

The problem really seems to be a dual monitor issue. Thoughts?

Update:
I turned off the computer in the evening and when I turned on the computer, the primary taskbar was auto-hiding. I was floored, as I had rebooted the previous night. My joy lasted about 30 seconds. As soon as I touched the keyboard to do something, I think launch Microsoft Edge, the taskbar was back to its old ways.

I will temporarily uninstall Display Fusion to rule that out as a suspect tomorrow.
