Startallback Feature request: Taskbar "Always on top" of other windows


I've had the glitch on random monitors, at random times..., I have no idea what's responsible..., just Restart Explorer.

It's OK if you post here, Steve. It's just that you mentioned "Feature request" which is something that we can't help with here.

I am a paid, very happy, Startallback customer, fully updated. I am using Startallback on my Windows 11 Laptop which also is fully W11 updated. First, my taskbar is NOT set to autohide. It is at the bottom of my screen. But when i drag any window down, it covers my taskbar. I want the taskbar to ALWAYS be on top, such that any window would be BEHIND it, not on top of it, blocking it.

IMO, this would be a GIANT improvement to Windows 11 / Startallback if it is possible - thank you!

Mods: Sorry for re-igniting an oldish thread but I have a possible answer for the OP.

I have been having the exact same issue, and am also a paid very happy user of StartAllBack.
I found the Xbox app causing an issue with StartAllBack.

My fix:
I opened the start menu and typed Xbox, > right clicked on the icon > went to properties > chose the option "Never" under "Let this app run in background" > clicked the "Terminate" button to make sure it was closed.

The taskbar was immediately un-hiding on top of any applications again when hovering over and working with non-autohide too. (However I would recommend a restart to confirm it fully worked due to the nature of StartAllBack being a shell replacement).

I really hope this helped you! :-)
