  1. Taskbar Problems - Dual Monitors


    I just added a second monitor to my setup. The second one has the taskbar disabled for simplicity. The taskbar on the main monitor is now extremely slow when right-clicking clicking an app and when pressing "close window" after right-clicking an app very often nothing happens because of the huge unresponsiveness. Does anyone know a fix?

    Furthermore, if say, a note pad document is open on my second monitor and I chose close window on the taskbar. Will that work cross-monitor to close the notepad on the second monitor? I can't tell right now because of how unresponsive and broken the taskbar is acting. Thanks a lot!

    Dual Monitor Problem


    Overall I'm delighted with Windows 10 but I have one relatively minor problem with my dual monitors. The taskbar on the second monitor won't auto-hide. It just sits there.

    Any suggestions?

    One more thing I would like to add is that the task bar on the second monitor does not show time and the system tray. How do I enable that?
