Description

Installation method

Microsoft Store

Area(s) with issue?

Command Palette

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce:-

  1. Enable Dock (Preview) within the Command Palette Settings.
  2. Scroll down to Monitors section and enable the dock for secondary monitor/display.
  3. The window on the secondary display indents down and an empty bar appears at the top (default location for the dock).

Investigation so far:-

  1. Tried all possible combinations of enabling and disabling dock in primary and secondary display.
  2. Tried all the different theme modes and materials (acrylic/transparent).
  3. Tried restarting the machine after enabling dock. It just got disabled after restart instead.

✔️ Expected Behavior

The dock should appear with the stats instead of an empty bar as it does when enabled in the primary display.

❌ Actual Behavior

The dock should appear with the stats instead of an empty bar as it does when enabled in the primary display.
The screen recording should help. Since the game bar does not have ability to record multiple displays at once (at least I couldn't find one), the recording only has the incident on the secondary display.
