I don't reproduce this. Do you use exotic multi-mon / taskbar config?

Thank you for the response. I'm not using an exotic taskbar setup; however, I am on a triple-monitor setup with 4K resolution, with the central screen set as the main display and one in portrait mode. The Task View issue only arises when the taskbar is on the left or right side of the middle monitor. It functions correctly when placed at the top or bottom. I think this suggests a specific issue with the left or right taskbar placement in a multi-monitor configuration, when the lateral sidebar placement is adjacent to the other monitor or monitors. As I mentioned in the opening report, it worked in the very previous Win 11 distribution. Thank you for looking into this. I hope that fix is as close to a trivial one-liner as possible! Screenshots are attached for clarity.

Hello, Just checking in for any updates on the Task View problem when using StartAllBack with the taskbar on the left or right location, specifically in a multi-monitor setup. Thanks!
