Windows 10: Task bar use on multiple displays

I have three monitors and the task bar is on all three. If I click on the programme/app icon in the task bar on a specific monitor, is there a way that that programme/app can open on that specific monitor and not the main one? I use two monitors for photo editing and the third for other things. It is annoying to have to keep dragging from the main monitor to another display. If it is not possible, can it be included in the next upgrade/update?Sandi

Task bar does not respond when multiple windows are displayed as combined

Whenever I have just a single instance of a program displaying in my task bar I experience no problems when I click it: it minimizes, it maximizes, it works as expect.

Whenever I have multiple instances of the same program running (for instance, two seperate Edge windows open at once) and they are displayed as combined, when I click the task bar the preview for each will pop up and then immediately minimize. When I hover
over the task bar the previews will display, but as soon as I click one they disappear and nothing happens. Essentially, whenever I have programs stacked/combined in the task bar, I cannot select any open windows. I Can only switch between them by using alt-tab.

In in all other ways the task bar performs normally; all buttons respond so long as there is just a single instance displayed in the task bar and they are not combined.

This is is a brand new computer, so this wasn't a Windows upgrade. I've downloaded all systems updates from Microsoft and the computer manufacturer. I have also tried restoring my system several times and nothing works: each time I open multiple windows
of the same program the task bar becomes useless to switch between them.

Any suggestions or insights are greatly appreciated.

Windows 10 Multiple displays task bar

Hi

On my system I run windows 10 on a desktop and have 3 Displays. Can I have 2 of the displays running the task bar and disable it on the 3rd display?

Thanks
