Default dual screen doesn't show task bar hardware or toolbars

Is that taskbar difference between monitors a bug or a feature?


Well, I found a comment that it's a feature.

I switched on a Quick Launch called Desktop, which is
just the Desktop folder. And only the MSEdge shortcut
shows up in the menu, and not the other items. I guess that
means only Apps are visible, and not Win32 shortcuts.

When I tried to "slide" the Quick Launch "hot spot" to
the other monitor, it wouldn't go.

Effectively, the monitors are "Extended", but the
Task Bars are "(almost) Mirrored".

I don't understand what that's supposed to mean in
terms of a design.

I would have expected that since the two monitors
are right in front of the user, the icons would
"spill across" from one monitor to the other, just
as you can slide windows from one monitor to the other.

There was a time in computing, where you could
"see a hidden rationale in everything". That's
not the case today. Not that I expect 7000 developers
to have a cohesive story.
