  1. Taskbar won't go over applications


    I'm not sure why, but suddenly, in the middle of the day, my taskbar started refusing to show over open applications. I have attempted suggested methods such as restarting windows explorer, restarting my computer, running a system file check, scanning for malware, and ensuring the settings were not changed. I'm very much at a loss as to what could possibly have caused it to start acting like this.

  4. Taskbar won't go over applications

    Windows 10 Taskbar sometimes on top of full-screen applications

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I suggest you to change the Screen Resolution and check if this helps. Follow the steps below to do the same:

    • Press ‘Windows ’ key on the keyboard.
    • In the search box, type Settings
    • SelectSystem > Display > Advanced display settings.
    • Under Resolution, select a new value. We suggest you stick with the resolution marked
      "(Recommended)”.
    Also try locking and then unlocking the Taskbar and check if this helps. Follow the steps below:

    • Right-click an empty space on the taskbar.
    • If Lock the Taskbar has a check mark next to it, the taskbar is locked.
    • If it does not have a check mark, click Lock the Taskbar.
    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
