No KDE Plasma bar in desktop mode
The bottom bar (where the start menu button is) on one of the output devices is missing. The appearance depends on the "main" setting, which is under the "on" setting in the "screen and monitor" section. If the TV is the main device, the bar appears on the monitor. If the main device is the monitor - vice versa. In the monitor only, TV only or mirroring mode, the bar disappears altogether.

that's default KDE behavior, I believe you just moved the panel to the secondary monitor
Solution
I suggest you right click on the desktop and enter edit mode
on the top right, you have two useful buttons:
1. one to add panels (Add Panel)
2. one to manage the current ones (Panel and Desktop Management)
let's start with the second button
send a screenshot of it so we can make sure that one panel is on the secondary monitor
if you believe it is, you can simply drag the panel to the primary display
as for the first button
on KDE Plasma, you can have as many panels as you wish, with the widgets that you want
if you want two panels, one for each monitor, I suggest you click on
Default Panel to add it to the monitor that has no panelBefore, the default was always to have the bar on all monitors. Thank you, I didn't know there was such a tool in KDE
you're welcome, KDE Plasma has a bunch of awesome stuff! enjoy
