Windows 11 problem with the taskbar during monitor power cycles Issue occurs when switching monitors on or off.
In short, you're using Windows 11 with two monitors. When you switch them off to use Chrome Cast or put the PC to sleep, the screen often fails to appear correctly—sometimes the taskbar disappears entirely and stays unresponsive until you press Windows key. While casting to your TV, the taskbar freezes and doesn't show up at all. This issue has persisted for a couple of weeks and is becoming increasingly frustrating. You've already tried restarting, updating, and using Task Manager, but nothing resolved it. Your Samsung monitor works fine when off, but turning off the LG monitor causes the same taskbar problems. Anyone have any ideas or solutions?
