Windows 10 Taskbar is not "Always on Top"

Solution 1:

Ok, so I fixed this for myself just now. All I did was right click the task bar, go to properties and set it to show at the top of the screen. Then I set it back to the bottom and now it works like it used to.

Solution 2:

I had the same issue, and fixed it by turning off Nvidia Shadowplay desktop capture.

New GeForce Drivers that are installed with GeForce Experience (since 2016) call it the In Game Overlay, and you can disable it by opening GeForce Experience > Settings (top right) > General and untick the In Game Overlay option.

Pires Dimmer caused this problem for me. Turning it off fixed the issue. https://www.nelsonpires.com/software/dimmer/

Solution 4:

I've had this issue before many times and it drives me crazy.

Whenever you start having the issue, open Task Manager, and look for "File Explorer", just click on it and press restart in the bottom right. It's not a permanent solution, maybe even restarting the computer after restarting file manager would do something for you.
