I like the centered taskbar icons, mainly because I switch between a Mac and Windows. I have only been using the Windows 11 Start button as something I right click to get the management menus. I have been hitting the Windows key to get my Start 10 menu.
I'm hoping the mult-monitor support just hasn't been implemented yet. It is in the taskbar settings, but it is grayed out.
In the mean time I created a small vbscript file (a text file with the extension of .vbs) containing these two lines. I call it menu.vbs. All it does is simulate pressing ctrl-esc.
Code: vbscript
- Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
- objShell.SendKeys "^{esc}"
I then create a shortcut with a target of: C:\Windows\System32\wscript.exe D:\Apps\Shortcuts\menu.vbs
The path should point to the vbs file you created. I change the shortcut icon to the Start 10 icon. I can then pin it to my taskbar and I have an icon that will popup the Start 10 menu.
