Windows 7 task bar stuck in hiding, how to fix?

Using the WindowsT key combination, you can bring up the taskbar even if it's stuck hidden. Not the most-ideal solution, but one that consistently works.

it looks like this is already a reported bug, I only post this for you because it looks similar to the issue you are having.

this is from the Eclipse bug site Bug 24052

looks like there is a post on a windows 7 forum as well

Taskbar auto-hide

I've been experiencing the exact same issue for years. Haven't found the reason or how to fix it, but you might want to try out the following workaround:

AutoHotkey script

~LButton::
coordmode, mouse, screen
mousegetpos, mX, mY
if mY = 767 ; THIS HAS TO BE YOUR CURRENT SCREEN HEIGHT RESOLUTION. can also be " > 750 " or sth. like that
{
    send #t
    send {Lbutton up}
}
return

best would be to put this in your autostart. This helps you in the following way: If your mouse is at the very bottom of your screen and the task bar does not come up: Simply click once and it will appear (win+t is being pressed by ahk)

PS. I would have loved to upvote the starter's post, but I cannot because of missing reputation.

I have the same issue, and 1 manage to find that with firefox regular version (i got the developers) the layer in which appears is in front of the one of the task bar thus making it impossible to appear... the solution is obvious dont maximize to the fullest.
