I have a laptop connected to another monitor. The real windows taskbar is on the monitor and the laptop screen has two left/right splits with a multi-monitor taskbar on each split on the bottom.

When I have a window on the laptop screen and use shift-maximize-button or drag-touch-the-upper-edge, the window maximizes to use the whole screen but does account for the taskbars on the bottom so the bottom edge of the window is under the taskbars. What can I do to have the window not ignore the taskbars?

I don't have this problem on the monitor and I guess it's because the real taskbar is in one of the splits and the window respect that taskbar.

Is there a way to have windows show its taskbar in one of the laptop screen splits?

Thanks,
Robert

If it matters, I'm still on Win 10 (Version 21H1 19043.1526).
Hope you haven't forgotten about Win 10!

I think I've narrowed down the scenario. For some apps like MS Edge or MS Teams, I use the psexec to run those apps as another user on my computer, which allows me to run multiple copies of an app that normally can't. It's these windows that ignore DF's taskbar when maximized with shift+maximize or drag+touch-upper-edge.

I've found a workaround. Add a DF titlebar button that runs function:
maximize (ignore splits)
