Have you got the adverts blocked? The bottom blue strip is where they appear, so have you got some new software with an ad blocker? ???

Is this blue band there all the time even when your not on the internet?
If so you have just made your task bar bigger you can put it back to normal if you hover your mouse pointer over the upper edge of it click and hold then drag it back down to its normal width.

right click on the blue bar and left click 'lock taskbar' it will stop it happening again.
