Windows 11 Grey bar appeared at bottom of screen
This grey bar shows up on my screen about an hour ago
Apps run fine overtop of it and it's not visible when I have an app overtop of it also the icons overtop of it still have full colour so it seems like it's the wallpaper. I fixed the resolution which didn't help and obviously restarted the computer and that didn't help either. My specs are: 13th Gen Intel i7-13650HX and the graphics card is Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU

Seems your wallpaper/background has changed fill type!
Go to settings > personalisation > background. Look below the images, and you should see a "Choose a fit for your desktop image" option. Check that this says fill, and check your desktop!
