Windows 10: Task bar transparency glitch. Is there any way to fix this?

Hello, I have a strange issue with my taskbar on my Windows 11 laptop. To be fair, this already happened with two laptops, both with Windows 11 and Windows 10.I want my taskbar to be transparent, I go on the Personalization menu and toggle the switch near the "Transparency effects", but at least once or twice every day I find out that the taskbar isn't transparent anymore. I've tried restarting Explorer.exe, I've tried to reinstall the Start menu via PowerShell, I've tried restarting my pc over and over, nothing seems to work. The Transparency effects will simply decide to start working agai

Task Bar glitch

I opened the link to Clean boot, tried it, but it involves a a series of restarts after I disable some apps on startup and others not, to determine which app is causing the error. The task bar glitch I am facing doesn't occur on startup, though. When I restart,
the task bar works fine but after a few hours, problems persist. The solution you provided would've been easy for a problem that occurs on each startup, but for me I will have to wait for the task bar to glitch after hours, then do a clean boot, then disable
some apps, wait for it to glitch again, then clean boot again. This is in no way convenient for me.

Is there any cleanup software or other bug finding tool for the app that is causing this? i'd prefer that or an easier way.
