  1. New Taskbar removed right-click functionality


    I have Windows 11 Home, and there was just an update this week that has dramatically changed the Taskbar appearance and functionality, none of it for the better. There are three main issues I'm having:Minor, but the appearance is not good. Why are some tabs smaller than others? They used to be the same size, making it easy to see which ones are open. When you move your mouse to hover over a tab, a text bubble comes up that just repeats the name of the program. The problem is that you cannot then click on that tab, because the text bubble is "blocking" the click. You have to move your mou

    taskbar tranparency

    Hi Dan,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused. I will surely assist you with this.

    I would suggest you to change the desktop themes and check if you are able to see the transparent taskbar.

    If that doesn't help I would suggest you to end the explorer.exe and restart it and see if you are able to see the transparent taskbar.

    Please follow the steps below to restart explorer.exe:

    stop and start Explorer.exe


      • Right click on the taskbar and select task manager.

      • In the process Right click on windows explorer and end the task

      • Restart the task by clicking on the file and select new task

      • Type Explorer.exe and press enter.
    And see if it helps.

    Do let us know the result. We will be glad to help if you need further assistance.
