Changing monitor input causes windows to maximize over taskbar.
I have this issue when changing inputs on my monitors. When going from my work computer to my pc, my pc will adjust all my windows to maximize over the taskbar. When using this browser for example, it appears as if my taskbar is hidden. However, I do not have the taskbar on autohide. If I minimize the window my task bar appears as usual, as it should. Any window (browsers, spotify, discord, etc...) that is maximized covers the taskbar. The only work around I have found for this is by adjusting the display resolution, and then reverting. Something about the temp resolution change causes the functionality to return to normal. I have ran all updates and cannot find anyone that has reported similar issues.
Windows 11 upgrade - No taskbar.
After upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11, the taskbar is empty. No icons, no access to several key programs. For several weeks I was able to re-initiate the taskbar by loading Task Manager, ending the Windows Explorer task and then running explorer.exe from File|Run new task. This no longer functions. I have tried uninstalling the Windows 11 security update as suggested elsewhere but this does not seem to cause any change in the situation. In the past when I could still re-initiate the taskbar, it would often flash to Sunset lighting as if it suddenly recognized that the time and then the icons would appear. To be clear, the taskbar is not hidden or in tiny mode. It is present but empty. I regret upgrading to Windows 11.
