  1. Missing open app indicators in taskbar of primary display


    I have 3 monitors and after an update I'm assuming the buttom part of the taskbar only on my primary display is cut off at the bottom. I'm not sure proper terminology so here are some pictures.


    This is one of my non-primary monitors and it look as it should

    This is my primary monitor with the issue

    The example is for Chrome but it's the same for everything in my taskbar. I've tried unlocking and relocking the taskbar. I've looked in the taskbar settings but nothing has worked. Anyone know how I can fix this?

    :)

    Taskbar and open windows moving to primary display after lock

    2x monitor setup

    Primary (1) on right via display (port 1) on graphics card, secondary (2) on left via HDMI (port 2) on grap[hics card

    I put my task bar on (2). I open several app windows on (2).

    When I lock my screen and come back, taskbar and all app windows are now on (1).

    I have:

    • changed the settings to swap them, the same occurs in reverse
    • updated all drivers
    • changed display ports (no effect)

    System:

    • Windows 10 Pro 1809
    • Nvidia GTX 2060 Super
