Check Taskbar Auto-hide Settings:

Update Display Drivers:

- Right-click on your display adapter and select Update driver.
Run System Maintenance Troubleshooter:
- Type "Troubleshooting" in the search bar and open it.
- Under System and Security, click Run maintenance tasks.
Perform a System Restore:
- If the issue began recently, consider using System Restore to revert your system to a point when everything was functioning correctly.
- Type "Create a restore point" in the search bar and select the top result.
- In the System Properties window, click System Restore.
Check for Windows Updates:
