Is there a way to stop the windows taskbar from overlapping windows?
If I set the Windows taskbar to auto-hide, then applications realize hat they have that extra space and stretch their window a bit to fill the whole screen. However, when I do pull the taskbar up, it overlaps part of the window. This is mainly a problem simply because if I accidentally bring up the task bar, it covers things I'm trying to interact with. Is there a solution to this? I suppose an easy one would be to implement a delay in the time it takes for the task bar to appear after bringing your cursor to the edge of the screen, but I'm open to anything.

This is catch 22. You will of course not see the part that is covered by the taskbar. And what do you think to gain with a delay. At the end it will cover part of the screen.

I really don't know why it happens but you can fix it by only restarting explorer.exe with Task Manager.

Auto-hiding Taskbar will always overlap over the window. You can often solve the problem by moving the taskbar from bottom edge of the screen to top, left or right edge.
Also, there are solutions with help of keyboard, but they require more specific description of what operation you want to perform (edit your question and describe your task more in detail if you are interested).
