    Why is there no way to move main taskbar to a second monitor?


    Hi,The problems this creates for me are kind of crippling and it's honestly surprising that this change from windows 10 is even a thing.The ones that I can think of:-I sometimes have to share my screen in apps like discord and I don't want my work notifications to pop in the same screen I'm sharing for NDA reasons.

    Taskbar on second monitor on Win7

    Taskbar on second monitor on Win7

    Anyone know of some good freeware app that will add a taskbar to my second monitor and only show apps on that monitor on its taskbar? I was using Ultramon in XP but wondering if there's something better for Win7. Thanks.
