  1. Multi Monitor - Taskbar - Remove "Start button & Clock"


    PC just updated to 10 Anniversary.

    I have three monitors, I want to remove the start button and clock from second/third monitor. (I.E A blank task bar)

    I do not want to disable the second/third monitor's task bar, I like the applications running that appear on said monitor to appear in the task bar of that monitor.

    I had this setup on the previous build, but can't remember for the life of me how I did it (No third party software)

    :)

  2. Taskbar

    Can you right-click on that Start button to get a menu and does it work? What else do you see in your Taskbar (e.g. on the far right)? Every time people describe this, especially if they say the Start button has a functioning right-click menu, makes me
    think that they are looking at a secondary of a multi-monitor configuration (with a phantom primary). Then I suggest they try Win-P, CursorUp, Enter and see if that changes their symptom at all.



    FYI

  3. How to MOVE the Windows 10 Taskbar to second screen (not copy it)?

    That's not true at all on my 4-monitor setup. Monitor 2 is my primary(main) monitor, but the main taskbar (with clock, etc.) is on monitor-3.

    Multi Monitor - Taskbar - Remove "Start button & Clock"

    Hey.....I /just/ found something, using UltraMon 3.3.0, that will help with a step in the right direction. UltraMon 3.3.0 has the ability to hide the start menu on all secondary monitors. click here:

    UltraMon Features - Taskbar Extensions / Smart Taskbar

    It works. I am looking at my secondary monitor as I type this and the start menu is not showing. I am still working on finding something to remove the sys clock from the secondary taskbars. But, as mentioned, it /is/ a step in the right direction. *Smile
