Same problem here. I have the taskbar in the right, and if I press once, the Start Menu goes below the taskbar, if I press a second time, the Start Menu goes above the taskbar, blocking the start menu button. It happens to me after the Windows update KB5039302. I read other people having problems with the taskbar after that update. Edit: I can confirm. I have uninstalled this update, and the issue is gone.

Have you thought about setting the taskbar to autohide? Then it will only be on top when you move the mouse to it. And you can access the stuff that would normally be behind it.

I had the same issue reported here and also found that KB5039302 needed to be uninstalled to mitigate the issue. Curiously, only when the taskbar is docked to the right of the screen does the start menu and taskbar have overlap. Everywhere else was fine even with KB5039302 installed. Just speculating, but it looked as though the position of the start menu was being drawn is closer to the edge of the screen when KB5039302 is installed.

If that's the case, then this is something for Microsoft to fix since they caused it with KB5039302.

The issue you’re experiencing after installing KB5039302, where the taskbar is on the left and the full-screen start menu’s wallpaper shifts to the right by the width of a taskbar, should normally look like the image below.
