Windows 10: Need some help regarding system tray and taskbar

So I run two monitors and I would like to be able to see the system tray bar on both screens. From what I've read, that is not possible. Then I would like to at least be able to move my system tray to my second screen, while keeping it as my second screen. I know I could change it to my main screen, but my other screen is bigger and I would like to keep playing my games on that screen, which wouldn't really work that great if I change my main screen.



I also got another question. I often use the "windows"+number key combination to open programs. Now for some reason the behavior of windows has changed recently. When I have multiple instances of a program open, It used to just put the next instance of that program in the foreground. Now it shows me all the instances of the program and I can then awkwardly navigate it with direction buttons and the enter button. Which is especially stupid if I only have two instances running. I suspect I can change this behavior somewhere in the settings, but I couldn't find it. Any help would be greatly apprectiated.
