Windows 10: Apps going over the taskbar

this is how it started, I was playing a game the game was in 1080p and my moniter and desktop were in 1440p and had alt tabbed to watch a video, i went to alt tab back in and i accidentally hit it twice, the game window then went invisible and i couldnt access any of my apps when i clicked on them, it would just act like i was in the game still, so i restarted my pc, and when it loaded back up i logged in and noticed my wallpaper engine acted like i had an app fullscreened/maximized when i didnt have any full screened or maximized and when i had a app fullscreen my taskbar wouldnt show.ive

Hi Carole,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being a part of Windows 10.

I understand your concern about accessing Taskbar on Windows 10. We will help you with resolving the issue.

As you said Taskbar is not working, and you will minimize all the opened apps to access the one you wish to from Taskbar. Be clear with how exactly you are trying to accessing the apps from Taskbar.

Step 1: I suggest you to check if you have enabled the Auto-hide option for Taskbar, if so try to disable and check if it helps.

Steps to enable auto-hide Taskbar:

• Right click in the empty space on the Taskbar, click on
  Properties,
• Under Taskbar tab, uncheck the Auto-hide the Taskbar option, click on
  Apply and Ok.
