Got an issue with a windows 7 PC where when a window is maximized its behind the start menu.
I have tried to restore an maximise, however it still shows behind the start menu, it still showing the window maximised in the window, just hiding the bottom bit behind the start menu,
If I set the start menu to auto-hide I can see the bottom of the window when the start-menu auto-hides.
Im very confused with this, has anyone experienced this before, and if so how did you fix it?
Slide the taskbar to either right or left of the screen so that the taskbar is now on either sides.
Open Taskbar properties again, and Uncheck "Auto-Hide the Taskbar" -- apply -- drag the taskbar back to bottom. Open a window and see it it still hides behind. If it doesn't, lock the taskbar. Issue resolved. :)
** I replicated your issue at my computer and resolved with above steps.
