If I set the Windows taskbar to auto-hide, then applications realize that they have that extra space and stretch their window a bit to fill the whole screen. However, when I do pull the taskbar up, it overlaps part of the window. This is mainly a problem because if I accidentally bring up the taskbar, it covers things I'm trying to interact with.

Is there a solution to this?

I suppose an easy one would be to implement a delay in the time it takes for the taskbar to appear after bringing your cursor to the edge of the screen, but I'm open to anything.

I really don't know why it happens but you can fix it by only restarting explorer.exe with Task Manager.

Restarting the Windows Explorer process from the task manager has always worked for me.

Step 1

Right click the toolbar and select "Task Manager"

Step 2

Right click on Windows Explorer and select "Restart"

Auto-hiding Taskbar will always overlap over the window. You can often solve the problem by moving the taskbar from bottom edge of the screen to top, left or right edge.

Also, there are solutions with help of keyboard, but they require more specific description of what operation you want to perform (edit your question and describe your task more in detail if you are interested).
