Smaller secondary monitor has search function, when used it breaks larger monitor taskbar.

Question

Title of post depicts primary issue. Cause of post is that when swapping the taskbar on primary (larger) monitor to secondary, the search function disappears. Could not attach multiple screenshots. Only way I've found to fix is restarting PC. Attached screenshot doesn't display disappeared task bar. Does display search function. During bug, search function doesn't work. Windows key does display start menu and allow for searches.

Hello there,

1. Is there any change before the problem happened? Such as hardware replacement, and software installation?
2. Is there any 3rd party protection/anti-virus tool?

While connected on the 2nd screen Right click on the taskbar on the 2nd screen and then Got Taskbar settings-> Check the Auto-hide taskbar settings. Ensure You Have Enabled Taskbar On Both The Monitor.

You should also try updating your PC and then check if you meet the case or not.
