go to start menu, go to settings, go to taskbar and start menu, if keep the task bar on top of other windows is checked, uncheck it. check autohide the task bar although I have heard that this unnecessary, uncheck all the other boxes to fix other issues and because you don't need them checked and it may save you if you are using the jaws cursor from getting trapped at the bottom of the screen. If I'd told you all this stuff, and you didn't need it, you'd have said, sheesh, I already know this stuff, what do you think, I am dumb, So just ask your questions if you don't know something. It's not a crime not to know, it's not a crime to ask, but it is bad manners to insult your freely given assistance and may rob you of it in the future. Another idiot signing off.

About the only thing I can think of at this point short of that if you haven't done it already is to make sure that the taskbar is not on top of other windows." Er. the task bar being on top of other windows? er um, what on earth do you mean? Please explain, I'm just an ordinary idiot out here! Thhat's why I signed up to this list! It's OK for the experts to be so clever, but, well for the rest of us...we just keep trying...OK?? I hope you can understand. The computer is, for us, merely a tool, not an end in itself, OK? Hmmm, feeling quite cheesed off by the super proud and super clever experrts who know it all, but won't truly share it with the rest of us! Er um, thanks Mister Polman!
