    Taskbar won't open when using a fullscreen application.


    Title describes my issue. I am using Windows 11 having just upgraded from Windows 10 experiencing the same issue. Restarting Windows Explorer in Task Manager doesn't fix the issue.tl;dr Taskbar won't open when hovering cursor over bottom of screen while using a fullscreen application.

    Applications won`t maximize

    Following a W10 update, applications only open as minimised on the taskbar and won`t maximize. I have tried closing them minimised but no good. Can anyone help ? thanks

    Is there anyway to open fullscreen windows by default?


    Right click the application shortcut, select Properties. Select the Shortcut tab and choose how you want to open the application:

    • Normal window = Opens the application window in same size it was when last time closed, full screen only if the application was last closed when full screen
    • Minimized = Opens the application but minimizes it to taskbar without showing the application window on desktop
    • Maximized = Opens the application window always maximized, regardless if it was windowed or full screen when last time closed

    Kari - Do you have to do that for every shortcut? I did it and most of my windows still aren't opening as Maximized... *Sad
