Taskbar icons overlapping

Question

Hi so this bug normally happens when I close or

open a new window.

Answer 1

To fix overlapping icons, turn on the ‘Align icons to grid’ settings. Right-click on your desktop and select View > Align icons to grid.

Change Display Resolution also helps.

Right click anywhere on the desktop and select Display Settings

Display Settings windows will pop-up, locate scale and layout

Change the value under scale and layout and check if the icons are still overlapping icons on your taskbar.

• Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open the Task Manager.
• Under the "Processes" tab, find "Windows Explorer," right-click on it, and select "Restart."

If the icon on the taskbar is still not working, kindly follow the steps below.

Open the Windows PowerShell as administrator.
Type the command below and press enter after the command.

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Close the Windows PowerShell and restart the computer.
Check if the same issue appears.

You may also create a new user account if this account is corrupted.

Answer 2

Hi.

Try to create a new user profile on your windows and check if the same issue appears on the new user. This will help determine if the issue is profile specific or if the issue occurs on any user profile on your computer.
To create new user profile, please follow this link:https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-a-local-user-or-administrator-account-in-windows-20de74e0-ac7f-3502-a866-32915af2a34d
Check if everything works fine on the new user.

Hope the information is helpful.

Best Regards,
