[Fixed] Remote desktop taskbar hidden behind local taskbar in full screen


This happens a lot to me. There are times when I open a remote desktop and go fullscreen, the taskbar will be hidden behind the local taskbar and it’s annoying.

Here’s how to fix it:

Simply restart Windows Explorer within Task Manager. In detail:

  1. Right click on your taskbar
  2. Open Task Manager
  3. Under Processes, find Windows Explorer and right-click
  4. Click Restart



Your taskbar will reset then you can try opening remote desktop again. Your current open windows will not be affected by restarting Windows Explorer.
