How do I keep the Dock at the bottom of my main screen when using a secondary monitor? So I purchased a small 12.3 narrow IPS Screen to set below my main computer screen in order to watch content on it without interrupting my main screen. It works great but I am unable to keep the "dock" at the bottom of the main screen. I can lock the dock to the right or left of the main screen but NOT the bottom of the main screen as it always jumps to the bottom of little tiny screen below. So now when I use Launchpad to open an app, it opens in the little screen with absolutely useless tiny icons. While I am not a fan of having my dock on the right or left it does work that way. In settings, the Menu Location does work, but there is just no way to select the main screen as the "bottom" for the Dock. This sucks and it kinda ruined the purpose of buying the little screen.

How to keep dock pinned to left of main display even if there's an extended display on the left Basically the title. I like to keep my dock on the left of the screen but I just got a new desk at work with the monitor pinned to the left side. Now my dock shows up on the extended display. No bueno. How do I keep my dock pinned to the left of the main display when there's an extended display on the left?

Dock moves to second monitor I have the same problem a lot of people have with the unwanted movement of the dock to the second monitor. I tried, as has been suggested, holding the mouse on the lower part of the primary screen, but that doesn't move the dock back. I am using the latest os.

A "space", by definition, has a menuBar and a dock.

If this gets in your way, you could check the checkbox to "show and hide the dock". Shows when the mouse-cursor approaches the edge holding the dock, hidden otherwise.
