    Purplefurbyeatr - Welcome to the Board :)

    First checkout the task bar settings .....

    Right click on the Taskbar > Properties and ensure that Autohide is unchecked and Keep the taskbar on top of other windows is checked.

    If that is not the source of the problem look at the Task Bar Repair Tool from Kelly Theriot.
