Windows 10: "Show taskbar on all displays" setting doesn't work when turned on. Eventually reverts to...

Hello support staff. I just had a question on how to fix an issue. I really enjoy having my taskbar show on both of my monitors. I am very aware that you can turn on the mentioned setting of "show taskbar on all displays" and then "show taskbar buttons on all taskbars" to get the desired effect I want. For some reason, over time the buttons on the non-main monitor will slowly remove themselves 1 by 1 until there are only any buttons for active windows on that taskbar.Any way to stop this from happening? My setting itself doesn't update and I cannot find any solution to my issue.

:)

 

Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

Thanks again!!

I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

I ran SeaTools. These are the results:




Does it mean my HDD is useless?

 

Display langage reverted back


I followed the suggested actions: everything OK from step 1. and I attach as requested the output for step 2.



for convenience I attach the google translation



I'm ready to act following suggestions (if any) before...going through the restore (please don't misunderstand, I'm not looking forward doing it).

I appreciate in any case your help

 

Taskbar Only Works on Secondary Display (Win11)

Greetings,

Since plugging my Eluktronics MAX-17 with Win11 Home into my television via HDMI, my main Primary laptop display's Taskbar is blank, black, unclickable and off to the lefthand side. However on external monitors it shows clearly the correct way. I've tried flipping Taskbar settings around in various ways but nothing corrects it.

TLDR: I've tried the many troubleshooting steps available online, see below for a list.

BACKGROUND:

• No new software or driver updates involved:
  
  • I merely linked my W11 Eluktronics MAX-17 laptop to my TV via HDMI, and since it accepted the external display my Taskbar went off to the left side of my primary display, and became bereft of all app icons.
    
  • The overflow section still appears to have some app icons in it, but barely just.
    
• Clicking on the blank Taskbar does nothing. Right-Clicking also does nothing.
  
  • However, the real Taskbar will show only on an extended display, not on the primary, if I connect one:
    
  • If I have the external connected, I can switch my secondary to primary and it *looks* like it's fixed, but that obviously goes back to normal once unplugged and my primary becomes the de-facto primary again.
    

STEPS TRIED:

• Chose all alternate options under actual Taskbar settings by enabling/disabling Taskbar on all monitors, etc., reducing resolution, simple troubleshooting.
  
  • Note there seems to be less control over Taskbar behavior in W11.
    
• Restarted the Windows Explorer service, and related processes:
  

ShellExperienceHost.exe (couldn't find this one)

SearchIndexer.exe

SearchHost.exe

RuntimeBroker.exe

• Used CMD >> reg delete HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\IrisService /f && shutdown -r -t 0
  
• Used CMD >> DISM ScanHealth and RestoreHealth (no corruption detected)
  
• sfc /scannow
  
• Reinstalled the UWP using PowerShell: Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$ ($ _. InstallLocation) \ AppXManifest.xml”}
  
• Modified Registry: EnableXamlStartMenu under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced - (set to 0)
  
• Deleted icon appcache under Users...Local
  
• Turned off Fast Startup
  

Going bonkers. I will try other external displays next, and maybe try my work USB display hub and see if anything changes. I feel like I tripped some weird bug.
