Windows 10: Weird taskbar bug

Sometimes my taskbar bugs and when I hover at an icon that icon will show it's name and also will be highlighted on it, even though I have my another window/application focused on.I need to mention that the image that I have attached, the cursor was on Battle Nets launcher and not hovering on the icon that is being highlighted along with the launcher.This really bugs me off, any way to stop it from doing that?

Weird taskbar bug


So, since I updated to Windows 10 my taskbar is running weird. It hides only sometimes, and it's a bit laggy.

Today I was using my PC as usual and all of a sudden every OS window/menu became buggy: taskbar, start button would not come up, alt-tab wasn't working, task manager and windows explorer would crash.

If I launched an app using something like Launchy, the app would open normally and I would use it without any issues.

I thought it was a hardware issue but I ran BIOS diagnostic and it was fine. I restarted a bunch of times and for some reason I decided to uncheck auto-hide taskbar and everything started to run 100% again.

Has anyone had similar bugs? Or can it be something else and it was just random that it stopped after I unchecked auto-hide?

 

Windows taskbar Bug?

Hi Pedro,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

We’d like to get more information regarding this issue.

1. Were you able to play the games without the Taskbar interfering earlier?
   
2. Were there any updates that were installed recently that you think might have caused the issue?
   

We appreciate that you tried few steps to fix the issue. We can try few more steps in order to isolate the cause of the issue.

Let us go ahead and disable the Taskbar auto hide feature and check if the issue persists.

1. Right click on empty space of Taskbar.
   
2. Select Taskbar settings.
   
3. Turn off the switch under Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode.
   
4. Try playing the game in Full Screen mode and check if the Taskbar interferes with the game play.
   

Let us know the results and we will be glad to assist you further.

Looking forward to your response.

Let us know if you got the help you needed by clicking Yes or No.

Weird Win 11 taskbar behavior/bug?

So I'm working on a clean Windows 11 install, and ran into a weird taskbar behavior when rearranging icons. Moving icons (not matter what icon it is) far across to the other side (or maybe past a large number of icons) causes the taskbar to restart and move the icon back to the original spot.

It also causes a pause with other things like my keyboard, but the OS is still moving along and responsive with my mouse. But ya, that's happening and not sure how to fix this, as I'm trying to organize my icons on my taskbar into groups.

I've recorded the behavior in this attached gif.

1. I'm moving the MAIL app icon to the left
   
2. When I let go, the taskbar freezes and it restores after a few seconds (as well as the background image as you'll see in the GIF)
   
3. Then moving to the right, same behavior, but after dropping the icon moving to the right, the icon doesn't stay in its new place, but it moves back to its previous location with the same freeze/restore behavior.
   
   Please advise
