  1. Task bar only occasionally shows on second monitor


    Like Win 10, I set up my task bar to automatically hide on Win 11. Selecting the task bar with the mouse to wake up works fine on my main screen but 70% of the time refuses to work on my second monitor which is a pain when the first screen is busy with a full frame game. Any ideas how to repair this please?

    :)

  2. Task Bar on dual monitors

    How do you turn off the task bar on the second monitor so that you only have 1 which displays on the main monitor?

    Throttlestop obsidian not showing readouts in task bar

    Hello

    I had the previous version of throttlestop installed on a surface pro running windows 10 and it was working beautifully but now I am having trouble getting throttlestop to show temp/cpu reporting in the windows task bar. I have 'Task Bar' checked in the main window but still nothing appears. The check boxes within Options for Notification Area such as CPU Temp and CPU Mhz do not respond when clicked. Am i missing something/is there something else I need to do in order to get throttlestop obsidian to report to the task bar?


    Thanks so much!
