  4. Two monitor system - How to make monitor 2 my primary monitor

    Main taskbar on monitor 1 when it is not the primary monitor

    Hi

    I have a Surface Pro 4 and the Surface's screen monitor 1, i also have it hooked up to 2 other monitors (monitor 2 & 3). In the display settings have monitor 2 as my primary monitor but the main taskbar, the one with the notification area, action center
    etc is on the Surface's screen. I have tried to change the primary monitor setting to the surface and back again and the taskbar move over but then flashes, like explorer has restarted and then it is back on to the Surface. I have also tried setting monitor
    3 as the primary but still the same result

    I have not installed any new drivers, programs etc... and i have seen this problem before but changing the primary monitor worked then.

    Thanks!
