Programs on taskbar won't maximize

I've had this problem with a few programs for a while now. A program will be open on my taskbar yet when I try to maximize the window nothing happens. It's happened with notepad, settings, and chrome to name a few. I have already deleted and reinstalled
my graphic driver to no avail, and I can barely find any help online. Can anyone help?

 

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.

 

Taskbar overlapped by maximized windows. How to?


You could make taskbar transparent, so that non-maximized windows can be seen through.
