When switching from full-screen games to web pages in Windows 11, the taskbar abnormally hides.
In Windows 11, when running a full-screen game and switching to a browser window, the taskbar automatically hides (even with “Lock the taskbar” enabled). This prevents direct access to applications pinned to the taskbar, forcing users to repeatedly use Alt+Tab to switch windows or return to the game interface to resume operations. This issue solely impacts the convenience of switching between multiple web pages/applications and does not affect the game itself. A fix is requested.

This is a common issue in Windows 11 where the taskbar auto-hides during full-screen gaming, but sometimes it can be overly aggressive and hide even when you want quick access. Since “Lock the taskbar” is enabled, the problem might be related to system settings, display configurations, or specific game modes.
