    Why is Omen Gaming Hub breaking my hidden taskbar?


    I prefer my taskbar to be auto-hidden. I also want to keep using Omen Gaming Hub.

    However, whenever Omen is running in the background, the taskbar refuses to pop up when I hover my mouse over where it's supposed to be.

    The only times it works with Omen still running is if no other application is open at all.

    This issue started today, specifically after the most recent Windows update.

    Here's what I've tried:

    • Restarting Windows Explorer since a lot of people online say that sometimes helps with taskbar issues.
    • sfc /scannow (It did find an issue but then immediately fixed it. Tried it again and no issue. Taskbar still busted.)
    • DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth (Nothing changed.)
    System Info:

    • Windows 11
    • AMD Ryzen 5 5600H with Radeon Graphics
    • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 / AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics

    :)

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues with Omen Gaming Hub breaking the hidden taskbar.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    To set your expectations properly, there are reports and discussions from other gamers, it appears that the issue you're experiencing is a known conflict between the latest Windows update and the newest version of Omen Gaming Hub.

    Here are the troubleshooting steps to perform:

    Please make sure that Omen Gaming Hub is up-to-date. You can find updates within the app itself or by searching for it in the Microsoft Store.

    And then close and reopen Omen Gaming Hub. To refresh the app itself.

    Next is to check taskbar settings by making sure that the taskbar's auto-hide feature is enabled. Confirm that the taskbar is "locked" in Settings > Personalization > Taskbar.

    If the issue persists after performing the troubleshooting steps, kindly reach out to HP Support: https://support.hp.com/ph-en for further assistance. They can provide more specific solutions or workarounds.

    Halo won't install.

    Hi, my name is Fernando and I am an independent consultant for Microsoft products.

    Please try the following:

    - Start ---> Run "shell:AppsFolder"

    This will open the hidden app folder inside Windows.

    Once that folder is open, find the Xbox app inside it and place the app into the Windows taskbar.

    - Hold CTRL+SHIFT and click on the Xbox icon you just moved to the taskbar to start the Xbox app in administrator mode.

    You should be able to install the game you want with no further issue

    Marcus Face is back..?

    It's always been the Omen on my console, but the xbox.com icon was Marcus until the game released, and since then it's been switching back and forth. Right now I'm currently seeing the Omen here too.
