There’s a really annoying bug in most versions of Windows where sometimes the system tray tooltips and popup notifications will show up behind the taskbar, or behind other windows.
It’s documented in Microsoft’s Knowledge Base, and the solution offered is as helpful as ever:
To resolve this issue, use one of the following methods:
- Log off and then log back on to the current account.
- Restart your computer.
Nice, Microsoft. Really nice.
I’m constantly getting bitten by this bug, so I developed a small program to fix it. What it does is apply the style HWND_TOPMOST to all windows that have the class name tooltips_class32, solving the problem (temporarily).
