I use both 1 and 2 monitors often, and I switch between the setups frequently. In this post, the larger 1440p monitor will be referred to as the LG, and the smaller 1080p one HP.
The Windows taskbar disappears when switching from "Extended" using both monitors, to "PC Screen Only" on the LG. It doesn't reappear by itself, and I have to go into the Personalization > Taskbar settings and toggle "Show badges over taskbar apps", restart Windows Explorer, or press CTRL-ALT-DEL to get it back. The taskbar doesn't return otherwise, even when extending/unextending the monitors.
Additional Information
- Windows 11 Home 22H2 22621.1992
- Nvidia RTX 3070Ti, GeForce Game Ready Driver 531.79
- The monitors are connected to the PC via DP cables into the GPU
