I'm working with several monitors in Windows 10.
When I have one software window in particular monitor, its task bar icon appears on all monitors. I would like to see MS Word icon only on monitor that has its window.
How to solve this problem?

In the settings app under the taskbar options, set the option Show Taskbar button under Personalization->Taskbar to "taskbar where window is open"

On Windows 7 I have personally tried two options:
DisplayFusion is a paid program, but it's a must for Windows 7 + Multiple monitors. https://www.displayfusion.com/
Dual Monitor Taskbar is a freeware program that works very well for that job, too. https://sourceforge.net/projects/dualmonitortb/

I doubt Windows provides such option, but you can use 3rd party tool, "Fences" for sorting out your icons.
You can check and download a 30-day trial from here.

I used Realtime Soft UltraMon when I had Windows 7.
I hope it will work with Windows 10.

I don't think it is possible with the multi-monitor setup but the multiple desktop setup does have this option. When starting your program in another desktop (CTRL+WIN+right and start program) the icon isn't visible when you switch back (CTRL+WIN+left). There are some settings under
All settings > System > Multitasking > Virtual desktops. – Rik – 2017-01-02T12:42:46.230have you set the setting from my answer? Does it work the way you want it? – magicandre1981 – 2017-01-04T16:46:06.230
