i own an acer laptop a717-72g running windows 11. up until the previous update, the taskbar worked well—just semi-transparent, allowing some visibility behind it. after the latest update, it became completely transparent, making everything behind the taskbar invisible and obscuring my icons. i tried disabling transparency in personalization but it didn’t help. checking the registry confirmed transparency was still off. i’m looking for a solution to restore a solid black background without any transparency, so that icons remain clearly visible on the taskbar as they should. any suggestions?

Observed that transparency was turned off for personalization.
Right-clicking the cursor in an empty space on the taskbar should reveal the "Taskbar settings" icon.
Verify these configuration options or settings.

Yeah, I did that. There isn't an option to make the taskbar transparent or change its color.

Would you like me to display a screenshot of your current taskbar settings? (upload to imgur.com and post the link)
