Hi!

I believe the only way to have the same icons on dual monitors is to go to Display settings in the Control Panel and under Multiple displays choose "Duplicate these displays".

1) Go to Start and search for Change Display Settings**** and open it.

2) Scroll down to the Multiple displays section.

3) in the drown down menu choose Duplicate these displays.

You can have the taskbar on multiple displays (without duplicating the displays).

Best regards,
Leon

Hi,

You can try to add desktop shortcut on one monitor and use win+P to copy it.

I tried all mentioned but didn't find a choice where to enable it.

To be specific, I am talking about the clikable area on my screen.

And I don't want to duplicate my screen, I want to extend my screen to two monitors.

Do you have it on both monitors?

As mentioned above:

1) Right click your taskbar and choose Taskbar settings

2) Under the Multiple displays section turn on the Show taskbar on all displays.
