Windows 10: Desktop is covered by the taskbar when Windows is maximized

When I maximize Windows, I see the bottom scroll bar behind the task bar. I haven’t had this issue before. I’d like to have the desktop not covered by the taskbar

:)

 

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.

 

mouse cursor disappears on taskbar and on windows control buttons (maximize, close)

After installing Fall Creators update today, the mouse cursor disappears on certain elements.

• disappears on taskbar area (when in that area, also if taskbar is still hidden)
• disappears on maximized windows controlbuttons (maximize, close)

Reinstalling mousedriver and upgrade to newest Nvidia gpu-driver didnt fix it.

What is the solution?

 

Search on Taskbar covers up icons

Hi,

We appreciate you for being a part of Windows 10.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.

Please be informed that there is no way to shift the icons on the taskbar to right. It is per the system design. As you do not want to use the search icon, perform the below steps as a work around and check if it helps.

• 
  Right click on the empty area on the taskbar, click on
  Properties.
  
• 
  Click on Taskbar tab, check the box
  Use small taskbar buttons.
  
• 
  Select Always combine, hide labels from the
  Taskbar buttons: drop down menu.
  
• 
  Click on Apply button and click on
  OK button.
  

This will help you to certain extent as the search bar will not cover the all icons on the taskbar.

I hope the above information helps. Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

Thank you.
