Windows 10: Application window covers taskbar

I seem to be seeing an issue with the taskbar and application windows the opposite way to other posts. My problem is that when Windows starts and I load an application which has a window which I move down the screen it goes behind the taskbar, i.e. the taskbar is still visible - I also happen to use a double height one at the bottom. At some point the situation changes and the application window obscures part of the taskbar so I am then in the position of being unable to switch to another application by selecting it from the taskbar.I know that some people would prefer what I'm seei

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.

 

Excel window covers the Windows taskbar

Thank you for your suggestion.

I am using Microsoft Excel for Office 365 MSO (16.0.11328.20492) 64-bit.

In Excel Options, under Advanced, I looked under the "Display" section, as well throughout, but could not find the option for "Show all windows in the taskbar".

The problem is, that is not the solution to the problem I am looking at. I already have all windows displayed/listed in the taskbar.

The problem is that the Excel window itself can be dragged from its top bar all the way to the bottom of my Windows screen (as far I like, but I usually am showing the top of the Excel window so I can view other windows above Excel), and will either cross
(cover) the Windows taskbar, or move underneath the Windows taskbar. I am trying to keep the Excel window under the Windows taskbar - otherwise I lose visibility of all my other program icons on the Windows taskbar.

Thank you.

 

windows 10 home missing pin to taskbar for installed applications

I added a third step to the first suggestion, which worked for me:

1. Choose start> All apps,

2. Scroll to the application you want to pin, right click and then click
Pin to taskbar.

3. When the desired icon tile appears in the desktop box, left click on it and drag it into the task bar.
