When a Program Window Covers the Taskbar<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

While working on computers with our Cloudeight Direct Computer Care remote computer repair service, I\u2019ve noticed several times where open programs would obscure the taskbar. Well, it happens to everyone at some time or other. It just happened to me today. <\/span><\/p>\n

We used to have a complicated fix for this Then we discovered an easier way of fixing this annoying problem \u2013 and it takes less than a minute.<\/span><\/p>\n

First, we\u2019ll show you what we mean by a program window covering the taskbar.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Right-click on your taskbar<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Click “Taskbar settings”<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Find \u201cTaskbar location on screen”…<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"Cloudeight<\/span><\/p>\n

    Click the little down-arrow on the right edge…<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"Cloudeight<\/span><\/p>\n

    Then choose any location other than your current screen location.<\/span><\/p>\n

    As soon as your taskbar moves to the new position, change it back to your desired location, then click “Apply\/OK”.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Look! The taskbar is no longer covered by the program window.<\/span><\/p>\n
