Windows 10: Single Taskbar for all display screens

I have an ultrawide monitor that supports Picture by Picture mode desktops 2 and 3. The laptop desktop 1 is connected to a dock, which then connects to the monitor via 2 display port cables. The laptop is kept closed. Picture by Picture mode is enabled on the monitor. Desktops 1 and 2 are duplicated. Desktop 3 is extended. Taskbars position is bottom.Is it possible to have a single taskbar that spans all the desktops? So that there's only 1 start menu left of desktop 2, 1 system tray right of desktop 3, and one set of apps which I normally position in the center due to ultrawide monit
