    multiple display -taskbar and icons


    This is hopefully a quick fix. I have my laptop hooked up to a projector. My icons appear on the laptop but the taskbar options (volume, notifications, battery etc) appear on the projector.
    Using the display settings I can swap the screens but I cannot get the icons to appear on the same screen as the taskbar options.
    I'm almost certain my IT guys are messing with me.

    :)

  2. How to show video clips on my schools projector in extend mode?

    Taskbar is now shown on all monitors by default. With multiple monitors attached, Windows 10 will draw the taskbar across each monitor. By default, all taskbar icons are displayed on the main monitor and a blank taskbar on the other monitors. To configure
    the taskbar for multiple monitors using Taskbar Properties:

    Open Start > Settings > Personalization > Taskbar

    Under Multiple display, toggle 'Show taskbar on all displays.

    taskbar display

    Go Settings, Personalization, Taskbar, Multiple Displays.

    It may be due to the size of the icons and the size of the taskbar.

    multiple display -taskbar and icons

    Hello Jim, *Smile

    The system icons will show on the taskbar of the main display by default in Windows 10.

    If you wanted each display to be "extended" to show separately, then you could either change which display is the main display, or unlock the taskbar and drag and drop the main taskbar with system icons to the display you want without it changing the main display.

    Another option is to set your displays to "duplicate" (Settings -> System -> Display) to have both show the same thing.
