    Taskbar wont show up in maximized window but will show up in windowed/minimized


    So I had this problem for about 3-4 days now and I noticed that whenever i maximize a window, the taskbar doesnt show up when i hover at the bottom with my mouse. Ive contacted support and it worked for about a solid minute, they switched me to a new user but it didnt solve anything. I have the "Automatically Hide Taskbar" option enabled because it gets in the way for games. I have a windows 11 laptop 24h2. I was brought up to level 2 support and they didnt fix it sadly. What should i do?

    :)

    Windows 10 - Minimized on taskbar do not open or maximize

    Once the window is minimized obviously it is minimized over taskbar to be accessible again. State of the window could be sized or maximized.

    Clicking on it does not maximize or restore to original state. Happens randomly.

    Application title bar keeps flickering and not showing maximize minimize buttons

    Hello All,

    I developed an application with Ribbon.

    The problem I am facing is, the title bar keeps flickering in window 8 (old graphics driver)and not showing maximize minimize buttons.

    but the same application run smooth in window 10 (nice graphic driver) showing icons.

    could you suggest ,what is wrong with display? What should I try to stop flickering. ?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Taskbar wont show up in maximized window but will show up in windowed/minimized

    Hidden Taskbar not showing when a program is maximized (Windows 11 21H2)

    I see the same issue as Daniel, but I have only one monitor (laptop). When programs are minimized, the taskbar shows up when I reach the bottom of my screen. When the program windows are maximized, the taskbar won't show up. Even when the program window is not in full screen, the taskbar will show but it is behind the window until I click on it. I have checked all the taskbar settings and have an autohide option on

    I also noticed that the ALT+TAB combo doesn't switch between the programs most of the time and even if I get the taskbar to shop up, clicking on a specified program will not switch to it. I am using WIndows 11.
