Taskbar at top of screen - Some apps' title-bars open UNDERNEATH

First post: hope it's in the right category...

Just as the description states; I am using a Mac-style dock at the bottom of my WinX desktop and therefore have my taskbar located at the top of the screen. I am having an irritating issue from time-to-time, with the title-bars of some programs (or 'apps', as they seem to call them these days...) opening BENEATH the taskbar, making it impossible to get to the minimize, resize, and close buttons without first moving the taskbar to the right or left side of the screen, then moving or resizing the app window to access the buttons, and then moving the taskbar back to the top of the screen.

I am assuming the old XP "Keep Taskbar On Top Of Windows" would work, however some dufus-executive at Msoft apparently somewhere along the way determined this is no longer an attribute that anybody needs, probably since HE doesn't use it, and I cannot find the option anywhere. There used to be a tutorial over at 'Seven Forums' ( http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorial-...le-enable.html ) on how to reactivate it, but the link is now dead. However I still see plenty of requests to bring back the feature along with many people having similar problems to mine.

However, if the 'XP' solution would not work and any of you 'space-age wiz-kids' on this site can help with any solution at all, I would be much obliged and very much appreciative.

And by-the-way, the dock I am using looks beautiful in WinX and I HIGHLY recommend it :: RK Launcher - Download -- sorry, rabbit trail...)

Thanks!

Hi donehomr, welcome to Ten Forums. I'm a bit confused- Taskbar can be on top of windows. Type taskbar in search click on "customize the taskbar"

Change taskbar location on screen click apply and ok. If you mean that some of the modern apps are not locating properly on the screen, that's a different story. Modern apps are still a bit of a work in progress. I would report it to Microsoft using the feedback app found on the start screen. you won't get immediate satisfaction, but if enough people mention it they will fix it.

Autohide the taskbar when you use those apps.

Since this is only occurring on a few programs I'm pretty much resolved to using your suggestion "Snakeyes," and will mark your reply as the solution. - When I slightly resized the window (by dragging one of the sides or bottom corners slightly) the title bar popped below the taskbar and your suggestion worked perfectly. So apparently you put just the right amount of "thought" into this workaround! :)

Although this issue is not solved, it does have a viable workaround that I can live with, and I want to thank everyone for your suggestions. If anybody learns of an absolute 'fix,' please let me know...

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I was tweaking to get the best results, because I wanted my Windows 10 to be more like my macOS desktop too. This is what I got:

1. Arrangements of my 3-monitor setup:



2. The looks in a 3-screen capture:

- left top = Windows 10 in VM
- right top and bottom = macOS 10.10.5



3. Tweak for applications that won't auto adjust to the taskbar position at the top. Manually set this (only needed
once)



Cheers
