I accessed the task bar properties by right clicking on the task bar and selecting the properties option.
Next I changed the task bar button option to "Never Combine" and then apply at the bottom. This caused my desktop window to resize above the task bar. I then changed the task bar button option back to what I had it before and it worked fine from that point on. I do not know what caused the bug but it seems that doing the above steps reset the task bar settings and it now work fine. Hope this helps someone in the future.
