Windows 10: Set taskbar on the side on only one monitor

I recently reinstalled the Graphics driver on my PC and it set both taskbars to the bottom. Before, I had the taskbar on my main monitor at the bottom, and the taskbar on my second monitor on the left side. I can't remember how I set that up. Can someone point me in a direction here?

Taskbar on second monitor

Hi all,

I've got a Surface 4 Pro and am having an issue where the taskbar is showing on the secondary monitor. My external monitor is designated as the 'main display' and is to the left of the Surface. The desktop is extended onto the external monitor.

It's easy enough to drag the taskbar over but I can't get it to stay.

Thinks I've tried(that didn't work):

• Lock the taskbar.
• Turn off the 'Show taskbar on all displays' option
• 'Auto hide' option has no effect.
• Setting the Surface display as the primary, rebooting, setting the external monitor as primary

Any ideas?
