Taskbar to top of 2nd Monitor Screen in Windows 11

Hey, not a community expert or anything but I ran across your question when searching for answers myself. A Tom's Hardware guide had the answers I needed, step 5 seems particularly helpful in the case of having multiple monitors:

5. If you are using multiple monitors and want the taskbars on those screens to also be on top, you should change the same values to 01 for all registry keys in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MMStuckRects3 folder. If you don't have multiple monitors, this folder won't exist.

Here's the link, should you want to check out the guide:

How to Move the Taskbar to the Top in Windows 11

It's a bit hacky to have to go to these lengths to do something that was a common feature in previous versions of Windows, and I would personally love to see it added back to the settings, or at least to PowerToys.

 

Trouble Dragging Programs on Dual Monitors

Hi,

Welcome to Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

Try the below methods and check if that helps:

Method 1: Run the SFC.

Follow the below steps:

• 
  Open Command Prompt.
  
• 
  Select “Run as Administrator”.
  
• 
  Type “sfc /scannow” without quotes and hit
  Enter.
  

Now check for the issue.

Method 2:

Make sure you are using the latest graphics device drivers.
I would suggest you to download and Install the latest graphic card drivers from the manufacturer’s website and check.

Windows 11 Have 3 monitors. The task bar will only appear in top of left monitor.

I have 3 monitors. After upgrading to Windows 11, the task bar only appears in the top of the left monitor. Ideally, I would like the taskbar at the bottom of the center monitor. I have to use display scaling of 175% because of my eyesight so the windows that open on the left monitor, appear underneath the taskbar at the top, instead of starting on the bottom edge of the taskbar. This makes it impossible to use any part of the top of a program that is hidden under the taskbar. The windows will not snap open under the bottom edge of the taskbar, they always open underneath the taskbar. Some programs when opened cause the taskbar to temporarily open on the bottom of the screen, only to move back up to the top for unknown reason at a later time. It seems there are serious issues with Windows 11 taskbar when using multiple monitors. Is there any way to at least get the taskbar to the bottom of the screen until Microsoft fixes the taskbar problems?
