Usually, when a right click is made on the Taskbar, a menu of options appears on the monitor. But sometimes, the taskbar does not respond even on the right click. This is a problem in accord that it restricts the user from being able to customize the Taskbar.

Sometimes the auto-hide option of the taskbar stops working correctly. In this case, even when the auto-hide option is enabled from the settings or other means necessary; the taskbar does not go hidden. When the operating system has only 7 after its name, the search menu was less messy. But after Windows 8 and 10, the search menu consists of a lot of small tiles that is one of the main reasons for its failure in operations such as taskbar search.

Due to the new extension of Cortana, Windows search fails more frequently than before. The icons shown on the taskbar are also known as taskbar buttons. A simple click can launch the pinned application. But sometimes, clicking on the button does not launch the application; this is also a taskbar issue that must be fixed.

Sometimes, the thumbnails of the taskbar stop working properly. Clicking on them does not launch the program at all.

Many times if a program is frequently used then users like to pin it down on the taskbar so that it becomes easily available. However, the event that the thread is waiting for does not exist. Therefore, the thread waits indefinitely. A supported hotfix is now available from Microsoft.
