Taskbar doesn’t control windows (Accessibility missing)

Fix window control by enabling Accessibility and relaunching.

Symptoms

  • Clicking a window in Taskbar doesn’t focus it
  • Window control actions don’t do anything
  • Window switching feels unresponsive

What Accessibility affects in Taskbar

If Accessibility is missing or broken, Taskbar can still render, but window control becomes unreliable.

Common examples:

  • Clicking an app icon doesn’t bring the window forward
  • “Show desktop” doesn’t minimize windows
  • Window actions (focus/minimize/close) don’t apply

Fix checklist

1) Confirm Accessibility permission

System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility

Enable Sulguni / Taskbar.

Guide: Accessibility permission

2) Quit and relaunch

After changing Accessibility permissions, relaunch the app.

3) Toggle the permission off/on

If it still doesn’t work:

  • disable Sulguni in Accessibility
  • enable it again
  • relaunch Sulguni

4) If the app doesn’t appear in the list

macOS only lists apps that requested the permission at least once.

Try this:

  1. Launch Sulguni Taskbar
  2. Open the feature that needs Accessibility (for example: Show desktop corner)
  3. Go back to System Settings → Accessibility
  4. If it still doesn’t show, use the + button and add the app from your Applications folder

5) Restart macOS (last resort)

Sometimes macOS needs a reboot to fully reset accessibility state.

What you don’t need to do

  • No SIP changes.
  • No hacks.
