Contrary to popular belief, we are not all-knowing-all-seeing magical beings!

If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.

We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

Title is self explanatory. I tried changing resolution, turning off fullscreen and redownloaded gzdoom but nothing seems to work.

Sounds like you're using something other than Windows Explorer as your shell - or you are using a very highly customized version of it. Do you have any addons that modify how Windows Explorer works? They could be the cause of this.

Generally in Windows on all versions greater than 7, any time an application defines a window size at or greater than the display's resolution it will remove the "on-top" attribute of the taskbar to allow the large window application to gain almost exclusive control of the screen. Something is interfering with this behavior.
