Display icons from the system tray across several screens.
Windows 10 offers options to manage tray icons across multiple monitors. You can adjust settings in Taskbar preferences to ensure icons appear on secondary displays, allowing you to keep notifications and system information visible even when using full-screen apps on the main screen. While direct support for simultaneous tray icons on both monitors isn't explicitly listed, you can customize the layout to maintain visibility as needed.
You're asking about available files or registries to access additional options beyond standard menus. 3rd party solution: Fusion display is now available on Windows 11, offering more features than previous versions. While Windows 10 still provides many useful tools at a lower cost, you can obtain a permanent license for Fusion if needed.
Windows didn’t appear to offer an option to activate this feature through any hidden settings menu. In my experience, Windows 10 often includes several similar settings panels—like the old Sound Control and the newer Sound settings—that can feel confusing. It’s odd that task bar duplication works on secondary monitors but not for tray icons. Thanks for the idea; I’ll consider it but won’t rely on a third-party tool just to adjust one setting. If it remains unavailable, I’ll be fine without it.
This feature for displaying multiple monitors is a new addition in Windows 10, meaning there’s no older method to use. In the taskbar settings (click the task bar, select bottom), you’ll find the “Multiple Displays” section with various choices. Above that lies the Notification area where you can set up what you want. Regrettably, there isn’t a built-in option in Windows 10 to enable this.
I also searched for DisplayFusion software. It resolves your issue and offers many additional features.
