I need ALL icons in BOTH taskbars. I can't find a way

I use two monitors, but despite having a main one just because Windows needs a main one, I don't want any difference between both.

I need to be able to access to apps icons near the clock even with a full-screen app runin on it.

I'd like to have even my personalized toolbars in both screens, since I use both monitors with no preferences.

Is there a way to do this without third party software?

I don't get why this is not an option, but maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place.

Thank you very much

Hi Solhdeckvon,

My name is Lee, Windows 10 Independent Advisor.

The available option in Windows 10 is to extend the display to a second Monitor and view the taskbar on both screen. You may also set the both task bar to view all programs that are open just make sure to open the program on your preferred monitor.

To do this, all you need to do is to Right Click the task bar and select Task bar settings. Under Multiple Displays set Show taskbar on all display to ON. Set Show taskbar buttons on "All Taskbars". Set Combine buttons on other taskbar to "Never". This is the setup that I am using right now.

I hope my suggestion helps just please let me know if you need any further assistance, just reply back and I will respond as quickly as possible. Thank you and have a nice day.

Sincerely,
Leomer L.

However if you want both display to be cloned, just press Windows + P and select Duplicate. What you see on the Second Monitor is a replicate of the Main monitor.

If you want the "system icons" (i.e. network, battery, volume, etc.) and the action center to also show on the second screen, that is not yet possible for Windows 10 default option. I am also not sure whether there is a 3rd party app that does that because by design, system icons and action center can only be viewed at your primary display.

Not only that

As I said in the main post, I also need my toolbars (personalized folders).

If it's as you says, is a very senseless Windows 10 team decision...

Now I'm searching for a third party that can help me.

Thanks

Yeah I'm sorry I misread the "apps icons near the clock" on your main post. Well, that's all I have for you so far. I've been using this kind of dual monitor setup and I haven't find any built in windows 10 option that can do the trick even registry manipulation. I hope you will find a 3rd party app that does that and if so, you better share it to this thread to help other people who will read this. Should there be anything else, just reply back and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Goodluck!
