I updated my Acer Aspire 7 (A715-42G) laptop from Win10 to Win 11 in the month of October and it has been running very well ever since, I didn't encounter any problem with it until recently. So my Taskbar is in Auto-Hide mode as I like it. So whenever an app is open in fullscreen the taskbar doesn't show up even if I take my cursor to the very bottom of the screen, no matter whether I take it to the centre or to the left or right corner. I have to press the Start button every time to show taskbar or else I have to Minimize all my open apps for it. It is very frustrating as it's one of the basic functions.
I read an article of someone having the same problem (On Microsoft Community) and someone suggested to End Explorer task and then run it again and restart the PC, I did so yet the problem is present. If anyone has some other Solution please tell, or if anyone is also facing the same problem do let me know, I have put up this query in Microsoft community and will update it here if any solution comes up.
(Note: This problem started only a week or two ago, It was working totally fine from October till Mid- December maybe.)
Thank You.

Sometimes the transparancy broke the taskbar so you could try turning that off, but it sounds like a bug in windows 11, killing explorer wouldnt really have an effect as its still running just being over drawn by the screen, im afraid i cant offer myuch other suugestion other than the transparncy and togeling it on and off
