I could not click or drag it up then it is gone again. You know the guy who mentioned winkey wasn't kidding. I forget what he said but winkey, then right click in an empty area, properties, task bar, uncheck autohide or check keep taskbar on top. If task bar is locked, first unlock it and do those things, then lock it again.
