Windows 10: Resizing under task bar when in dual screen mode.

When I'm using my laptop monitor without my second monitor, then resizing windows works as expected, i.e. if you resize a window vertically, it will stop when it reaches the taskbar and won't let you resize underneath the task bar.

However, when I use two screens (extending my desk top horizontally), then resizing does not work as expected, and it will resize beyond the task bar so that part of a window is beneath the task bar, which is undesired.

Is there a setting that can change this behavior?

 

Taskbar at top of screen - Some apps' title-bars open UNDERNEATH


I only get it with apps that were previously using the space the taskbar was going to use before it was moved to the top. For example with HWMonitor put it to the top of screen when task bar is at bottom:





Close app and then move taskbar to top





Open HWMonitor and it remembers its old position (the top is hidden under the taskbar)





Resize (here I just made it narrower) and the top jumps so it is no longer under the taskbar and will not go under it again.




So perhaps moving the taskbar like you are is perpetuating the problem.

Try making your app not full screen and in the middle of the screen. Close it then move taskbar to top. Then open your app again.

Interestingly the taskbar properties box goes over the taskbar if taskbar is at the top and under it if the taskbar is at the bottom but that is another story...

 

Task bar resize

I didn't know that there was a double bar between task view and my applications when I dragged it and held it down my taskbar went up a half inch. I can't put my mouse on the edge of the taskbar and resize there because of that double
bar. I don't know how to resize it back without it having to take up 1/8 of my screen.
