Windows 11 Taskbar keeps moving?

[Boomerang Gaming]

I'm having strange behavior with my taskbar.

On my simulator I currently use 4 monitors, 3 identical 22" monitors set up as a 5760x1080, and a 40" TV 1920x1080.

On the TV the taskbar is centralised, but on the three linked computers, it keeps hopping from the centre screen to the left-hand side screen in the centre position. very occasionally it pops up to the top of the left-hand screen which then prevents me from accessing its options.
For ease of visual use, I want the taskbar centralised on the centre screen, it sometimes does this but after a few minutes, it returns back to the left screen. At the moment the taskbar only appears on the left screen, and not right across as it did before. (see photos).

I have tried all the settings I can find, but cannot seem to make it stay put on the middle screen and the taskbar display right across all 3.

Any ideas on how to fix? or is this a bug?

To address the issues you're facing with your taskbar setup across multiple monitors, especially in maintaining the central position on the centre screen, you can follow these steps to troubleshoot and reconfigure your taskbar: 1. Taskbar Settings: - Right-click on the taskbar and go to "Taskbar settings". - Ensure that "Lock the taskbar" is unchecked so you can freely move the taskbar. - Next, under "Multiple displays", make sure it's set to "Show taskbar on all displays". 2. Move Taskbar: - To move the taskbar, click and hold on an empty area of the taskbar. - Drag the taskbar to the screen that you want it located on. Release the mouse button once it's in the desired position. 3. Taskbar Properties: - Right-click on the taskbar and select "Taskbar settings". - Look for "Combine taskbar buttons" and set it to "Never" for consistent behavior. - You can also choose how the taskbar buttons are displayed under "Combine taskbar buttons". 4. Restart Windows Explorer: - Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager. - Under the "Processes" tab, find Windows Explorer. - Right-click on it and select "Restart". 5. Update Graphics Drivers: - Ensure your graphics drivers are up to date. Visit the manufacturer's website to download and install the latest drivers for your GPU. 6. Check Display Settings: - Open Display Settings in Windows and verify the position and arrangement of your monitors. - Make sure your centre screen is designated as the main display. 7. Reset Taskbar Position: - You can temporarily reset the taskbar settings by turning off the "Show taskbar on all displays" setting, then enabling it again. After following these steps, test the taskbar behavior to see if it remains central on your centre screen as desired. Let me know if you need further assistance!
