Go to settings -> personalization -> taskbar. There are many different options for the display of the taskbar on multiple monitor setups.
Edit: I misunderstood and windows is dumb. You can only have the taskbar on your main display or all displays. You can make your second monitor the main display to have your taskbar appear there.
I guess it's been fixed since I last looked then! I'll have to go through it. It wasn't there when I installed W11, but there was a promise of adding it. I just didn't expect that to happen. My impression was that Microsoft thought it wasn't necessary and that users could just get used to it.
edit: no, I can add it to all screens, but not move it to my second one. That doesn't solve the issue for me.
I'm sorry I misunderstood what you were saying. After playing with it, you are right you can only put the taskbar on the main display or all displays. That is kind of dumb.
The only way to do it is to make your second monitor the main display. Go to settings -> system -> display -> click monitor that you want taskbar on -> click multiple displays dropdown menu -> check make this my main display.
Yep. That's the only way. Sadly many games have trouble handling that and start on the screen with the taskbar (which is my smaller screen in portrait orientation) with no way to move them.
In windows 10 I was able to just drag the taskbar to my second monitor without a problem.
