WINDOWS 10 - HOW CAN I HAVE TASKBAR SHOW ONLY ON MAIN MONITOR (DISPLAY)

The article that I found most helpful on this subject was at https://www.howtogeek.com/111488/how-to-tweak-the-new-multi-monitor-taskbar-in-windows-8/

Here are the steps that were revealed (shown there in Windows 8 - shown here in Windows 10)

1.  Position cursor over a part of the taskbar to the right of the start button.
2.  Right Click.
3.  Click on "Taskbar Settings"
4.  Go down the bar on the right until you see "Multiple displays"
5.  For the button under "Show taskbar on all displays", click to the left (OFF) position.

When done, the screen should look like this.

COREL PAINTSHOP PRO X9 (64 bit) - STUCK (froze) UPDATING CACHE FILES

Thank you for dropping by my blogger.com canadaman page.

THE PROBLEM:

COREL PAINTSHOP PRO X9 (64 bit) - STUCK (froze)  UPDATING CACHE FILES

I have been familiarizing myself with Corel Paintshop Pro X9.  I put my computer into hibernate when X9 was loading - I really did not think about that being a problem.  From that point on, I was unable to get X9 to run.  It would begin but hang up when displaying "Updating Cache Files" or something close to that.

THE SOLUTION:

1.  I uninstalled X9.
2.  I used the install program that I downloaded from cleverbridge and reinstalled.
2a.  On reinstall, I chose the option to install both the 32 and 64
3.  After installation, I ran the 32 version.  It ran even though I was still having the problem with the 64 bit version.
4.  I went into the EDIT tab at the top.
5.  I went into the menu, specifically File / Preferences / Reset Preferences.
6.  I checked all of the boxes for reset.  I then clicked OK.
7.  I exited from 32 version.
8.  I ran the 64 version.
9.  The 64 version worked!

So, since it worked for me, I decided to share with you.

Thanks to a suggestion from someone to reset in a forum that I found somewhere.  However, it only said to reset cache. That alone did not work for me.

Here are a couple of screenshots that you might find helpful related to what I did.



NOTE - Initially, I had only 64 bit.
