I recently purchased a 32-inch monitor. In this new monitor, all notifications show under the taskbar. It was showing correctly on my old 24-inch monitor. What's happening? Where is the issue?

Screenresolution: 1920x1080, Scale: 100% (as recommended)

    Hi,
    1.Is this monitor working as second monitor for your computer or for your laptop?
    Sometimes set the monitor with lower resolution to two default with multi-monitors enabled will lead to similar issue.

    2.What if you manually scale the resolution, will the notification area show up completely?

    3.Kindly follow the steps to restart windows explorer as a test:

    Hope this helps and please help to accept as Answer if the response is useful.

    Thanks,
    Jenny

    You need to adjust the Scaling of your graphic card driver's application.
    Download the graphic card driver application from the support site of the manufacturer and then try to change the Scaling.

    Alternatively:

    Open Settings.
    Click on System.
    Click on Display.
    Under the "Scale and layout" section, click the Advanced scaling settings option.
    Under the Custom scaling section, specify a custom scaling size between 100 to 500 percent.
