Yes, this is definitely a Windowblinds issue. I've tried uninstalling Windowblinds and the problem goes away.  It returned when I reinstalled Windowblinds.  Also,k it's any skin.  I am using the "Modern" one that comes with Windowblinds, but it happens with any of them that I've tried.  Also the resolution setting or monitor resolution doesn't affect it. 

I'll add that there is probably something going on with my work laptop specifically because it doesn't happen with my other laptop, that uses the exact same skin and other desktop settings.  My other laptop is only a year old with Windows 10 out of the box, whereas my work laptop was upagraded from Windows 7.

Hi basj -- Thanks for the help!  Unfortunately, it didn't work.  I still have the same issue, and as I've said, it is the same for any skin apply. 

I created a clean admin account and disabled services and startup operations, then I ran the batch file.  Everything worked no problem.  I then selected the modern skin and it was applied correctly.  So it definitely seems that there is a conflict somewhere with my profile or software on my main account.  Any suggestions on how to narrow it down?

Thanks again for helping me on this.

Did you even try to read the respond above? Have you try it?

Have you try this one?

Please try purge and reinstall to see if the problem goes away. : https://forums.stardock.com/486023/windowblinds-support-faq#reinstalling

BTW, What program is that Blue question mark on that taskbar. It seem it push all the other items down.

I believe, there is an app that are pushing the whole icon and the clock down. Just to be sure what skin are you using on your screen shot. (nevermind I figure it out : you on Corporate by danioc.)

Regarding the margin, you can adjust it in Skinstudio but I doubt it will work.

BTW did you reboot after you uninstall that blue question mark app?

for c) I do.. put it on the left. you can see it on my respond to the TS in reply#3, That one was on Modern. I have tested on Corporate. And no problem for me on that one too.

for d) and e) as I said before, yes something is pushing it down and its on your system. You need to do the clean boot I suggest above. It will iron out which of the app loaded on startup is pushing it down.

Below is Corporate on my system. No problem

Please translate that sshot. thanks.

BTW can you also give us a sshot on different theme. on Modern maybe. and If possible please also take a sshot when the taskbar on horizontal. too. Thanks

you need to manually restart it ... using this..

Please let us know what version of Windows your system on?

Microsoft Windows [Versión 10.0.15063]

That worked fine, ¡thanks!, 

So we are still stuck with the clock not showing when taskbar is vertical.

win version = 10.0.17134.48
