Display system tray (icons and language bar) on multiple monitors

[AssafTzurEl]

Currently, tray icons (e.g. anti-virus and network icons), as well as the language bar icon, appear only on the "main display".

If I need to check the status of one of these icons (e.g. what's the current typing language? Is my speaker muted?), or click one of them (e.g. open OneNote by clicking its tray icon), and I'm looking at the "wrong" screen, I have to move my attention and my mouse to the other screen.

I know there are third-party utilities that do this, but I always thought it was supposed to be Windows' responsibility.

I second this, would be such a useful feature for me

just to add more to this: it looks like there was a tool to do this but from what i can see is it not being updated or maintained anymore, but maybe you guys can use the knowledge from it to add it, it's called TrayEverything

also @rp1231 seconded this too in my Issue

The TrayEverything app doesn't do what you think it does. It enables you to minimize all windows to the system tray.

It doesn't add a system tray to all monitors.

Hey all, just popping in a (admittingly general) comment here. Just came across a video of @ThioJoe where he quickly shows a number of apps, regarding tweaking Windows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7lykL7ZELQ Not promising everything for this issue, but it might help you on your way! :)

[biast12]

just watched it and no, it's not showing or giving a tool that can do this, and maybe even the more reason for it to be added since it looks like there's nothing out there and PowerToys could be the first one and maybe only one

Note from https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/24740: Applies to time & calendar flyout too

+1 in terms of the date/time display - if your going to allow the calendar on multiple monitors (which is fine as you already duplicate all the icons, searchbar etc..) you therefore need to exhibit the same behavior on each, e.g. click to popup.

has this been considered?
