Windows 10: How to keep vertical taskbar underneath windows

Hello everyone

I have a vertical taskbar on the lefthand side. In Windows XP and Windows 7, with a vertical taskbar, if I moved a window towards the taskbar, the taskbar would go underneath the window (i.e. the window would go on top of the taskbar). In Windows 10, however, any window that I move towards the taskbar slides in underneath the taskbar. This reduces the useable width of my screen. Is there a way to get Windows to let the vertical taskbar behave like the horizontal one, i.e. that windows move over it, not underneath it?

Thanks
Samuel

Added: Oh, wait, the AHK script win7taskbar-gl.ahk that I used with Windows 7 actually works. I'm not sure what the download URL for it is, though.

I have the same problem, but i need to somehow keep vertical bar with six app's shortcuts but still get rid of the stuff underneath. Is that possible ?

Thanks.

 

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?
