Win 11 pro . Browsers , Explorer covers up taskbar

         Greatings , recently around  October 2024 , not sure after what update .

 

The browsers (all of them ) and Explorer on start up , covered the taskbar EVERY time.  so I reverted back to a restore point .  Reverting was a story all of it's own , so that after 2  going back to a restore point Win 11 seems to have destroyed ? those restore points. but that's not why I am here

 

       After doing these restores , I ended up loosing most of the programs that were installed.  I have backups on other drives but did not use them.  As usual I lost my cool and just wiped out the ssd and re-installed Win 11 pro 22h2 iso . I had modified this ISO 2 years earlier ( ntlite licensed to Remove Onedrive )and had successfully installed it on other machines .  I will spare you my rant on " how much I hate Onedrive and Microsoft's push to forces us all into Onedrive paid subscriptions " .

 

     I re installed it on my machine as I;ve done before in 2022 with regular updates until Oct 24,  this time the issue was present from the gitt go, Edge did it , Explorer did it , Firefox did it .  since it's fresh install I checked the auto hide task bar  , it was off , checked the resolution , at default , checked drivers it was ok , some of the more special Asus drivers for OTHER thins were not correct , especially the TPlink Bluetooth.

 

    I ran the latest Asus Chipset driver package for the Asus Tuf x670e wifi plus Motherboard .  All issues corrected except for Tplink that I did not use, ( I tried it as a experiment a year ago and never unplugged it ) I removed that plug in USB unit .

 

   I have searched the web for people with this issue and not found ONE response on this . AAMOF all I find is the opposite how to cover the Taskbar or use f11.

 

    So I am turning to you the community ( and pray for the bits God that people with understand my complain and myabe have NEW suggestions that I have not found so far )  my background is extensive going back to the Sinclair home built units .  so I'd like to think , I know what I am doing 🤣. 

 

   to mitigate this issue for now, I have modified the size of the apps in question by hand to a size less the taskbar region

 

     Tank you all

     Best Regards
