You can move the taskbar to the second monitor; however, it also becomes your primary display.
Open Settings > System, then click Display on the right side.
Choose the monitor where you want the taskbar to appear.
Open the Multiple Displays menu and check Make this my main display.
In the left menu, go to Personalization and select Taskbar.
Expand Taskbar behaviors and uncheck Show my taskbar on all displays.

And this is exactly why I will stay on Win 10 well past EOL... it's a better operating system that cares about users. Win 11 REMOVED features no one asked to remove.
This is not an acceptable solution because I do not want my second monitor to be my primary display - that causes other issues.
In Windows 10 I could move my taskbar to any display.
I would like to know how do that in windows 11.
Sorry for the late reply, I wasn’t notified of your last message. In Windows 11, the primary taskbar is linked to the main display, unlike in Windows 10 where it could be moved to any screen. To shift the full taskbar in Windows 11, you’ll need to set the desired monitor as the main display.
You can request this feature through the Microsoft Feedback Hub by pressing Windows + F. Thank you.

Unfortunately MS in all their wisdom decided to re-invent the wheel and though it a great idea to downgrade the functionality of Windows 11 multi monitor support in a day and age where more and more people use multiple monitors by removing the ability to simply reposition the taskbar to another monitor.
Why on earth you would remove such a handy feature is beyond me. Now I have to resort to using a third party program which causes explorer stability issues to get this vital functionality back.
Changing my main display is not an option because then everything opens on the wrong display.
MS, how about you give us this feature back, especially since it's been talked about and requested ever since Windows 11 was released and people realized you removed such a vital basic feature?

Why??? would the taskbar ever be on a different display than the one that I set it to last time? Having a machine guess something like this is a fail for most people that still use windows. Just leave it.
