Sorry the title is a bit redundant. I want google searchers, people with the problem to find this post.
So it's like this. For over a year now, I have had issues with this very miniscule, yet very annoying taskbar issue. This doesn't seem to be a widespread occurrence, but from what I've scrapped together, it does happen to other people.
While gaming, at some certain point in time the microsoft taskbar will very briefly pop up. It's usually for just a split second. And its very hard to replicate. I notice it typically happens within the first 30 mins of gaming.
Every since I threw in my 6900xt GPU, is when this problem started. And I'm almost certain is has to do with AMD drivers, or the adrenaline software. I have been fortunate enough to record a few instances where this happens, and everytime one thing stays the same. When I sort Task Manager by 'Power Usage' the Radeon: Host Application process rises to the top in the flicker incidents. Here is a few imgur videos replicating the problem:

Also, here is some archived information I had created or found on the topic, including a reddit post I made. Not many, but a few people know what I am talking about, and they have AMD hardware in their system.
