Start 11 task bar

windows go under taskbar

I use the taskbar at the top on my screens. sometimes when apps are opened the top of the window will go under the taskbar making it difficult to close or change window size. if i can get to an edge and pull it will pop out from under the taskbar and i again have access to the top of the window. not totally reproducible as it only happens sometimes, but it has happened 2-3 times in the past week or so.

Windows 11 version 24H2 OS build 26100.8246

This is not a solution to your issue, but may help with moving the window when you can’t grab the title bar. 

PowerToys has introduced a new module in PowerToys 0.99.0 called Grab And Move. It allows you to move and resize windows by holding a modifier key (Alt or ⊞ Win) and dragging anywhere inside the window. Left-click drag moves the window, right-click drag resizes it from the nearest edge or corner—no need to aim for the title bar or thin window borders.

This is a great new module, especially with large monitors, or multi monitor setups.

This is usually a flaw in the apps you are launching.  They are not respecting the workarea as they should.  Sometimes this is because of previously saved coordinates for a window.
