Start11 Taskbar only on secondary monitor

from Stardock Forums

It's been asked and requested multiple times. Starting in 2021 and possibly before, a post and note stating that it was turned over to development/other and to watch that thread. 3 years later and no updates. Will we ever be able to use Start11 to move the taskbar to only a secondary monitor? Is it even being considered? There have been many valid use cases and reasons posted for this feature. Microsoft has ignored requests as well and chopped that feature out of Win11. We just need to know if Stardock is committed to this or not. Then we can move on.

The current software does not allow this for sure, so please no responses about some option for secondary monitor top/bottom. We don't want a taskbar on all monitors; Win11's only option. We also don't want a hidden taskbar on one main or all monitors. We want the ability to move the one taskbar to a secondary monitor. At this point, after three years, I can only assume that Stardock's implementation relies too heavily on the Win11 implementation and only tweaks appearance of that. It will likely never allow fundamental changes like other monitor destinations. Just please tell us that.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. If, I remembered correct this feature request has been forward to Support for sometimes ago. And from what I understand, send in feature requests will be vetted through by Support and Dev. Not sure how the vetting process goes, and if this request is being considered or not. However, I have forwarded your question to Stardock Support Team for their assistance. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We appreciate your feedback and patience.

Thank you.

Hi mkmcgregor,

Thanks for posting.  After a quick search, I haven't been able to come up with this specifically as a documented feature request for Start11. 

While I'm willing to bet you are right and it has been mentioned before, if you're referencing some specific mention where this was requested and responded to by our staff, feel free to post that here so the full conversation can be updated with your request. 

In any case, I've now logged your request for an exclusive 'Limit Taskbar to the secondary monitor' feature for Start11.  I can't comment on if this is do-able or not, and perhaps that has been iterated before.  We welcome you to watch this thread for any such clarification.
