Q: Menu bar disappeared on other monitors

Pretty sure the app Spectacle caused this issue. I had it installed, it wasn't working correctly, so I uninstalled. After a reboot, my menu bar disappeared on my other monitors (as in when I move an app to one of them, the menu bar doesn't appear anymore - on that monitor. It's still visible on the main monitor).

 

I can't find anything in Preferences to fix this.

 

Any ideas?

Mac mini, iOS 10, null

    Hello rannd,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 

    I understand from your post that the menu bar disappeared on your other monitors after you rebooted your Mac mini. I know how important it is for you to be access the menu bar from all your monitors. I recommend restarting your Mac into safe mode. Then restart your Mac as normal and test the issue.

    Safe Mode

    Starting up in safe mode

    Follow these steps to start up into safe mode.

    1. Start or restart your Mac. 
    2. Immediately after you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Shift key.
    3. Release the Shift key when you see the Apple logo appear on the screen.

    Best Regards

    1) System Preferences->Mission Control

     

    Check the box that says: "Displays have separate Spaces"

     

    2) Log out and log back in, or restart your mac
