Windows 10: Taskbar showing up on Alt+Tab screen

My taskbar started showing up on the alt+tab screen yesterday. It shows like a sort of app but when you switch to it, nothing happens. I tried to click X in hope of closing it, but it instead shows the Shut Down Windows dialogue.


I plugged in a flash drive from my friend and I saw it shows a .ink file in it. But I removed it via Windows Security and did a full scan to make sure it was deleted. I don't know if it is the one that is responsible for this issue.


I also have a third-party software installed on my computer. It makes the icons of my taskbar centered automatically. But I tried uninstalling it and check if the problem still persists and it does.


It looks like this:

Thanks in advance!

[Windows 10] Taskbar when alt-tabing

Hi SlyJacob,

Looks like your computer is set on tablet mode and you're having a problem showing the taskbar. Well, your taskbar may have been set to automatically hide. To address your problem, let's unhide your task bar by following these steps:

• Since the taskbar doesn't appear on your screen, press the Windows key first to show it.
• Right-click on the taskbar and click Properties.
• Uncheck the box for Auto-hide the taskbar.
• Click Apply, then OK.

Once done, try checking if the taskbar will automatically shows up when pressing Alt+tab.

Update us with the result.

Regards.

 

[Windows 10] Taskbar when alt-tabing

Thanks for the feedback, SlyJacob. By the way, have you enabled taskbar to show on both displays? If not, then please follow these steps:

• Click the Windows key and select Settings.
• Click Personalization, then select Taskbar.
• Under Multiple displays, toggle On Show taskbar on all displays.

Try pressing Alt+tab again and let us know if the taskbar also appears on the other monitor.

Looking forward to your reply.

Regards.

 

Taskbar not showing while alt-tabbed with multiple monitors

I'm running two monitors, monitor A is my main monitor, and monitor B is my secondary i use for videos and everything while gaming. When I have a game on monitor A and I alt+tab out to a window on my second monitor, the taskbar doesn't show up. It's the
same when i click off my game on monitor A to monitor B. In windows 7 whenever I did this the taskbar would show up, but now unless i specifically alt+tab to a window on monitor A taskbar will not show up. Doesn't anyone know a registry or way to make it so
i don't have to keep going to windows on monitor A to make the taskbar show up.
