Windows 10: 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?

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.

Is there a way to place the taskbar in a different location on my 2nd monitor

 

Dual monitor, Dual mouse??

Hello,

Please share this information to assist you better.

• How have you setup dual monitors?
• Are you referring to use 2 different mouse/keyboard with the dual monitor setup?

If yes, the mouse or keyboard may function same as one another. Since, it has to be connected to single PC/tower.

However, setting up 2 different mouse/keyboard with the Dual- monitor setup, it may not function separately for each monitor.

Let us know the status of the issue. We will assist you further.
