FYI, today my taskbar would not respond reliably anymore to mouse movement.
Symptoms:
- blue circle mouse pointer
- sometimes object ( programs, start menu) on taskbar not clickable
- sometimes taskbar will not show up when moving cursor there (note: taskbar is set to auto-hide.)
- hitting WIN-key (command) will make taskbar show up.
Windows still responds other than the taskbar being unstable.
I am now going to go to taskmanager and restart explorer.exe. This fixes the issue.
This issue does not seem to be the severe issue that used to exist a few months ago where the taskbar totally broke down due to a Microsoft bug.
Note that interestingly, in Task Manager, "Processes" conveniently allows to restart "explorer.exe" whilst "details" seems to only provice "end task" (requiring you to manually launch explorer.exe with win-R).
This fixes the issue - not reboot needed.
I hope this is of use to someone. It's probably not even related to Parallels or ARM, it is probably just a general MS issue in Win 11 because they are constantly messing with the new taskbar.
