Taskbar Overlaps every software

[GameWarrior]

Hi guys, I have been facing this problem for some time where all of the softwares which I use get overlapped by the Taskbar for some strange reason, I thought this would get patched soon but then it never did. I don't care about it most of the time but when I use some softwares like WhatsApp it makes it difficult to use because I can't see what I am writing and check before sending it. This didn't happen on my old laptop which is 16:9 in aspect ratio, this laptop is 16:10 and I think the ratio might be the reason. Does anyone have a solution to this problem if you do it would be very helpful. Thanks!

Try toggling "auto hide the taskbar" on and back off again.

It works but after restart it again acts the same instead of retaining it.

Isnt that meant to be on top? Unless a program specifies to be on top itself?
Also the thick font with no regard for sentences is hard to read.

But is the problem the program being under the taskbar when you maximize it?
Or
Is the problem when you slide down a program that the taskbar stays in front?

The 2nd is by design and is how it should be (i guess), but the first should not be the case.


Also if auto-hide taskbar solves it, try toggle it once then reboot, so its NOT how you want it. Then toggle it once again and reboot again.
Or maybe unlock taskbar and then make it larger, and back to your preferred size again? Maybe that makes it store the preferred setting?
Maybe that makes it stick? Windows can be weird sometimes.
