Windows 10: Windows 11 bugs and annoying quality of life issues

I updated my laptop to the latest official public version of windows 11 yesterday. I had previously installed windows 11 in a preview build out of interest but had to revert back to windows 10 due to bugs and poor performance on battery power. However, upon returning to windows 11, hoping to see those issues removed, I have come across similar problems and some new ones.The power consumption of the operating system has increased considerably from windows 10. Trying to conserve power throughout my day, I closed programs when i didn't need them but deliberabtely kept the laptop open. Power usag

Taskbar bug: switching to another window -will not appear at the front


Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

Method 1:
I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

1. Press Windows key + X key and click on Control Panel.
2. Select or click Ease of Access.
3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
5. Check if issue is resolved.

Method 2:
I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.
