HP OMEN Gaming Hub - Windows Taskbar issue

[DarkHat]

I have recently updated my OMEN Gaming Hub to the latest version. After this update I am facing an issue wherein the taskbar is sent to the back of the app when I open any app in maximized form. NOTE: I am using Auto-Hide taskbar.

Hello,

I have tried all the steps that you have mentioned here but none of them seem to have worked.

I figured out the issue is something related to MAXIMIZED WINDOW that Omen Gaming Hub introduced in the latest update. When I killed the OmenCommandCenterBackground.exe process, the taskbar went back to normal, but then I lost the ability to control fan speed through Omen Gaming Hub.

The issue was fixed yesterday by another update. Thank you!
