With Windows 10, is it possible to have the clock and Volume-Adjust-Icon on all monitors in a multi-monitor setup?

Windows 10 - Put Clock and Audio Icon on All Monitors

As of Windows 10 version 1803 this still seems not possible. The clock will now by default display on all monitors, but the notification icons (such as the volume control mentioned in the question) only show on your "Main Display".
The only options currently available are (a) switching your "Main Display", or (b) using third party software.

Could you recommend a third party software that offers this option? – Swen – 2019-09-25T22:16:13.507
@Swen I recommend asking a question on https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com
– Jeroen – 2019-09-26T06:49:00.337Ended up here because my setup requires my least-visible monitor to me the primary, because its a touch screen and the touch input *gets applied to the main display* (setting any other monitor as primary means that touch input is relative to that display; i.e. impossible to use). :( – Draco18s no longer trusts SE – 2019-10-10T19:03:16.943
Now that 1903 is out, has this become possible? – LonnieBest – 2019-10-10T19:29:12.227

Although I have been unable to show the system tray on all monitors, you are able to move the main taskbar and system tray to another monitor. You must unlock the taskbar and then drag it over to the monitor you want it displayed on.

we could show taskbar on all monitor. So that you could see the clock and use volume on multiple monitor. I referred link: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3899-hide-show-taskbar-multiple-displays-windows-10-a.html

1Would showing the entire taskbar on all monitors be suitable for your requirement? – Jonno – 2016-02-01T05:28:59.933
Yes, as long as each taskbar is complete with clock and everything you'd expect to see if you had only one monitor, but on all monitors. – LonnieBest – 2016-02-01T05:30:19.180

Found a potential duplicate question - aimed at Windows 8 though, not sure if anything has changed in Windows 10 in this regard.
– Jonno – 2016-02-01T05:31:47.297You could also look at this but it will require third party software, and only seems to include the clock, not the other notification icons.
– Jonno – 2016-02-01T05:33:05.230@LonnieBest - With Version 1607 its possible to display the clock on multiple monitors (happens by default) but the taskbar icons only appear on the primary monitor. If you want that functionality the only way to do that is third-party software. – Ramhound – 2017-01-20T00:54:31.207

I guess I'll stick with Ubuntu 16.04.4, which does this by default. Thanks Ramhound.
