    Why do windows cover my task bar?


    Since updating to Windows 11, I've noticed my Windows and applications cover my taskbar regardless of whether I click out of them. My taskbar is not set to auto-hide.

    :)

    Task bar covers bottom of window

    Until recently my desk top and windows never went behind the taskbar, now when a window is maximized, the bottom scroll bar is behind the task bar. How can I limit the desk top to real estate NOT covered by the task bar?

    Windows 10 Defender - How to make it default to task bar?

    Using Windows 10 and currently I am using Defender for anti virus. For whatever reason Windows Defender does not show up in the task bar unless I search for the program or right click and scan a file/folder. Is there a way to force Defender to show up in the task bar at start up?
