  1. Taskbar keeps closing on ONE of TWO screens


    Windows Taskbar goes down to a one-pixel line at the bottom of my screen. Minimize taskbar is OFF. Moving my cursor down to it does nothing. In order to fix it I have to go to Settings > Display > and change from 100% to 125% and then the taskbar reappears. Then I change it back to 100%. That works for quite a while, and then for some mysterious reason, when I'm not using my computer for a while, it reverts to being 1 pixel tall approximately at the bottom of my screen and I have to fix it again. This has happened 3 times in the last 12 hours. MICROSOFT, FIX THIS. And send the fix

    :)

    Moving the taskbar

    Hi Kim,

    You can customize your taskbar to pin your favorite apps to it, move it to where you want to display on your screen, and specify how taskbar buttons group together when you have more than one window open. To address your question, we suggest
    that you follow these steps on how to move your taskbar to a different location on the screen:

    • Open Settings and choose Personalization.
    • Select Taskbar.
    • Under Taskbar location on the screen, click the drop-down menu and select
      Bottom.

    Keep us posted if you need additional help.

  3. Windows 10 Taskbar sometimes on top of full-screen applications

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I suggest you to change the Screen Resolution and check if this helps. Follow the steps below to do the same:

    • Press ‘Windows ’ key on the keyboard.
    • In the search box, type Settings
    • SelectSystem > Display > Advanced display settings.
    • Under Resolution, select a new value. We suggest you stick with the resolution marked
      "(Recommended)”.
    Also try locking and then unlocking the Taskbar and check if this helps. Follow the steps below:

    • Right-click an empty space on the taskbar.
    • If Lock the Taskbar has a check mark next to it, the taskbar is locked.
    • If it does not have a check mark, click Lock the Taskbar.
    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

    How to Hide Taskbar in Win10 (while screen recording)?

    Two screens suggestion sounds good.
