Windows 10: My primary display is monitor 2 in Windows and my secondary monitor is 1. I want to have it...

The taskbar locked to bottom of secondary monitor moves to the primary monitor whenever primary monitor is switched on.

See the title.

I have the taskbar locked at the bottom of the secondary monitor so the primary monitor is completely empty for watching movies, games TV etc.

Whenever I turn the primary monitor on, the taskbar immediately jumps from the bottom of the seconday monitor over to the bottom of the primary monitor. I then need to untick the 'Locked' option on the taskbar, drag it back to the secondary and tick 'Locked'
again.

The taskbar disrupts desktop icons on the primary and any application running on the primary monitor at the time and quite frustrating.

Primary monitor is an Asus PB328, connected via Display Port to the PC.

Secondary monitor is a Samsung 24 connected via DVI to the PC.

I expect the taskbar to remain where I place it when locked, regardless of monitors been switched on or off.

The sequence of turning on the primary and secondary monitors has no impact. As soon as the primary monitor (Asus on DP) is turned on, the locked taskbar moves to the primary display, regardless of whether the Samsung is on or not.

 

1 monitor primary display and 4 monitor secondary display

Our church wants to setup a display composed of four 20" square monitor. This will be our secondary display.

Computer specs at the moment:
CPU: Intel i3-3210
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 210
RAM: 2 x 4GB DDR3 1333 MHz
MB: ASUS P8H61-M LX3 PLUS R2.0
OS: Windows 10 Pro x64

Is it possible to add another gpu for secondary display and then use a multi-monitor display adapter for 4 monitors? If so, what kind of gpu would we need?

Thanks...

PS: As much as possible we would not like to change our MB. But I've included it just in case.

 

Notifications Displayed on secondary monitor, when I use 2 monitors in "extended display"

Hello Angel Cabrero,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

To resolve the issue, follow the below mentioned methods and see if it works.

Method 1: Interchange the display monitor.

Switch the main monitor and the secondary monitor by making the secondary monitor as your main display and reboot the PC.

Later change it back to your preferred monitor and check if the issue persists.

Method 2: Update Display drivers.

If the display drivers are outdated, you might face such issues. So it's necessary to update the drivers to the latest build.

• Right click on the Start menu and select Device Manager.
  
• Narrow down to Display adapters and expand it.
  
• Right click on the display driver and click on Update driver to get the latest build.

Hope it helps.
