Taskbar when running game fullscreen borderless (dual monitors)

Question

I discovered an annoying issue for me after the anniversary update, when I started Overwatch I usually click on my 2nd monitor to get taskbar showing on my main gaming screen. Now it's not possible, I have to tab to a window on the same monitor or press the window button to force it to show...it will drive me nuts... 

Running Win 10 Pro. 

Really hoping anyone has a solution for this cus 10 years of habits aren't changed easily.

Answer 2

Hi, it still has nothing to do with that, it's a completely different issue as I stated.

It is related to the anniversary update, not a direct taskbar setting issue at all.

Nah this is completely different, I only want taskbar on my main monitor, but when ingame full screen (borderless windowed) after anniversary update, I can't show the taskbar on my main screen by clicking on my 2nd monitor, not that I want taskbar on my 2nd monitor.

Thanks for trying tho I still appreciate it. 

The game itself acts as if it's tabbed out, but visually I can't tell.
