They claim there is a "Taskbar settings" when you right-click
the Task Bar.

Alternately, as an experiment, you can open the Settings wheel
from the lower left, and in the "Search", try typing "Taskbar"
or "Multiple" and see if the right dialog shows up.

They are there just not in the Taskbar settings you have found.

Try Settings; Personalization, Taskbar (at the bottom of that screen);

Multiple displays (Near the bottom of this screen also) There are
several settings for Multiple displays, one of which is "Show Taskbar on
all Displays"

It's easy to reproduce where both task bars show up on both monitors except
one taskbar has toolbars and the hardware notification section while the
other taskbar does not gave those two sections.

I think this is a Windows bug.

I looked everywhere and have been though those setting many times.
I've had multiple displays for about a year where the problem persists.

It may just be a bug in Windows.

It's hard to describe but if you had two displays you'd see what I mean.
If you don't have "toolbars" on the task bar, you won't see the problem.

Right clicking on the taskbar gets the same settings as
Start | Settings | Personalization | Taskbar | Multiple displays |
Show taskbar on all displays is set to on.
Show taskbar buttons on is set to All taskbars
Combine buttons on other taskbars is set to Always, hide labels

Lock the taskbar is set to Off
Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode is set to Off
Automatically hide the taskbar in tablet mode is set to Off
Use small taskbar buttons is set to On
Use Peek to preview is set to Off
Replace Command Prompt is set to Off
Show badges on taskbar buttons is set to Off
Taskbar location on screen is set to Bottom
Combine taskbar buttons is set to Always, hide labels

Both task bars show up on both monitors except one taskbar has toolbars and
the hardware notification section while the other taskbar does not. I think
this is a bug.

In the taskbar settings notification area I have clicked
Select which icons appear on the taskbar
where Always show all icons in the notification area is set to Off (for
testing) or it is set to On for testing, where it doesn't make a
difference.

Turn system icons on or off where all are set to off (for testing)
or all are set to on (for testing) which doesn't make a difference.

Right clicking in the cortana section I can
Show Task View button (on or off, it won't make a difference)
Show People on the taskbar (on or off, it won't make a difference)
Show Windows Ink Workspace button (on or off, it won't make a difference)
Show touch keyboard button (on or off, it won't make a difference)
Cascade windows (on or off, it won't make a difference)
Show windows stacked (on or off, it won't make a difference)
Show the desktop (on or off, it won't make a difference)
Lock all tasksbars or don't lock them (it won't make a difference)

If you have two monitors can you see the bug where both monitors show the
taskbar but one taskbar is completely missing toolbars and the hardware
notification section?

I think it's design intent to not copy the Task Bars exactly.

You may find a third party software to do it though.
It depends on whether the feature request for it
got implemented.

I shot video of the second monitor, as the second monitor
is on a VESA plate and a number of feet from my desk.
That way, I didn't have to keep running over and looking
at stuff.
