A: Windows 8 features a task bar that displays across multiple monitors. By default, application icons of pinned and opened applications are shown on all monitors.
This behavior can be changed so that non-primary monitors show icons only for applications that are visible on that monitor. To change the behavior, perform the following:
Right-click the taskbar, and select Properties.
In the Multiple displays area, select the required option on the drop-down menu under Show taskbar buttons on. (See screen shot below.)
