Hello tron1900x

Seems that you’re dealing with some taskbar glitches, possibly related to Windows 11. A few things to try are restarting Windows Explorer through Task Manager, which can sometimes fix UI issues. You can also check for any pending system updates or driver updates, especially for your graphics and display drivers. Another option that comes to my mind is to reset the taskbar settings or clear its cache.

Lastly, if the problem continues, you might try running the sfc (System File Checker) tool to ensure there are no corrupted system files affecting taskbar behavior.

I hope it helps!
