Windows 10: Excel window covers the Windows taskbar

Greetings,

I normally use my Excel windows not maximized and I drag and drop my Excel windows around, especially moving the Excel window down behind my Windows taskbar. In general use, when I drag my Excel window down, it moves behind the taskbar. So far so good.


On occasion, what happens is I find that the Excel window has moved itself in front of my Windows taskbar.

Here is a possible clue: If I leave my computer for a while with the Excel window behind the Windows taskbar, after a time, when I get back to my computer, it appears that the Excel window re-located itself above the Windows taskbar without my interaction. It could also be involved with the screen timing off, while the computer is still on.


Are there any settings in Windows or in Excel to keep the Excel window behind the Windows taskbar? The problem seems to only occur with Excel and not other programs like Edge, Firefox, etc.


Using Windows 10 Version 1909 OS Build 18363.535.


Thank you for your time and assistance.

Option to pin to taskbar is missing for Excel in Windows 10

Hello Kent,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

We understand the inconvenience you have experienced.

Usually when you're working on any Excel file, you can see an instance of Excel Icon will be located on taskbar. Simply right-click and selecting
Pin to taskbar will do this. Let me elaborate this in steps.

* Open new Excel sheet or any Excel file which you're working. (I.e. to open new Excel sheet, press
Start, type Excel and select same from the list)

* Go to Taskbar and then right-click on opened Excel file located on taskbar.

* Now select Pin to taskbar.

Another way is, go to Start /> All apps, then navigate alphabetically till you find
Excel. Then right-click on, point to More and select Pin to taskbar.

Done, this will Pin Excel sheet to Taskbar. You can follow the same steps for pinning any application to taskbar.

Keep us posted the outcome.

 

Excel files in Windows taskbar change order

Hi Peristeronic,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We would need few more information.

1. May I know the Operating system that is installed in your computer?
   
2. Are you facing this issue only with Excel?
   

However, you may follow the steps under “Rearrange taskbar buttons” from the following

Link.





Hope it helps.
