Windows 10: Windows 11 - The taskbar does not appear when applications are maximized

I have gone through steps to make it work again but seems an update did this to it..and now my task bar will not show on any program that is maximized. I am upset...AS it has always worked. I literally have to click the Windows button for it to show ...instead of sliding to the bottom for it to pop up. ARE there any fixes to this latest update you did.

Windows 11 - The taskbar does not appear when applications are maximized

Hello,

I have a small problem with the taskbar in Windows 11. When I enable auto-hide and when I run any application in full screen (maximized), the taskbar doesn't appear even when I hover over the bottom of the screen.

Once I don't have the application in full screen (maximized), the taskbar works normally, but I noticed that when I snap the application to one half of the screen, the taskbar appears below the application until I focus the panel.

This has been happening to me since I switched from windows 10 to 11.

I am currently using Windows 11 Home | Version: 21H2 | OS build: 22000.556

Is this windows 11 bug or am I having something wrong set up?

Thanks for reply.

 

One Window hides another window When it is maximized and when it is clicked on taskbar it never shows it runs on the back of maximized window and never display untill maximized window is minimized

Hi,

You might be experiencing this problem because the rendering layer priority of the maximized application is respected even when you switch focus to another program. Normally, when you maximize an application, it will hide or cover all other applications
until you switch to a different program. To help us identify the cause of this behavior, we would like to know the following information:

• Do you only experience this issue with a particular program?
  
• Have you made any changes to your computer before experiencing this issue?
• Are you using multiple monitors?
  
• What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

In the meantime, you might also be experiencing this issue because Windows Explorer (Explorer.exe) is not working correctly or not responding.
Windows Explorer is the process that provides the graphical interface such as the Start menu, taskbar, notification area, and File Explorer. To sort this issue, we suggest that you restart Windows Explorer. The easiest way is by restarting your computer.
If you do not want to restart your computer, you can also follow the steps below:

• Hold Ctrl+Shift while right-clicking on an empty area of the taskbar.
• On the modified context menu, select Exit Explorer. The Start menu and taskbar should disappear.
• Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Task Manager.
• Click More details on the bottom part of the window.
• Click on the File menu, and select Run new task.
• Type explorer.exe, and click OK.

Keep us updated on the status of the issue, and we will be glad to assist you further.

 

Taskbar not showing when a particular application is maximized.

My taskbar is set to auto-hide and it works perfectly well when other applications are maximized but when the Figma desktop app is maximized, the taskbar does not show up when I put the mouse pointer at the bottom of the screen. Every other application allows the taskbar to show when I hover at the bottom of the screen except the Figma desktop app.

I've restarted, and reset my pc, I've done basically everything I can think of and it still does not show up.
Please what could be the problem and how can I solve it?
