    About 1 to 2 months ago, this random glitch started happening. There is a gap between my browsing software. It happens to basically all my windowed fullscreen programs like Steam and Spotify. Does anyone know a solution to this problem? The included image shows the gap between the programs.

    Gap between taskbar and browser


    There is a gap between my browser window and the taskbar, showing my desktop. Is there any... 44d3bea3-0320-4b02-b3ad-f7ed4b230c1e?upload=true.png
    Hi, as you can see from the screenshot there is a large gap between my taskbar and the browser. The browser is in fullscreen and I can't drag it down. This gap exists for other Apps like Spotify and Discord as well, but it doesn't affect things like fullscreen videos or video games. This has never happened before until this morning so I'm not sure what caused it. Any help is appreciated.

    Gap in Taskbar?



    There is a gap between my browser window and the taskbar, showing my desktop. Is there any... 53960d1485960842t-gap-taskbar-img_0671.jpg




    It usually takes a little while, but at some point this little gap in the taskbar appears and the only way I've ever managed to get rid of it is doing a full reinstall of Windows. Then its usually gone for little while (weeks to months) but then will come back again. Sometimes its not a gap and its a second arrow, but one that cannot be clicked.

    Any ideas? I've done an SFC and disabled some of the programs that load on startup. No change. Sometimes restarting explorer.exe works, and sometimes it doesn't.

    Its there as soon as the desktop appears.

    This is an issue I also had in Windows 7 before I upgraded to Windows 10 (clean install)

    Gap in Taskbar?


    I have exactly the same issue. Win 10 home 64bit. using the stock theme

    I have no idea how to fix what causes it but I managed to figure out that its an un-named toolbar. if you right click on your taskbar and go to toolbars you will see a blank line under desktop as per this photo.

    click this blank line and the gap will disappear. it will come back again at some point, I don't know how or why but this is easier than a reinstall.

    Hope this helps and someone more knowledgeable than me can find a root cause for it.
