    I am not sure whether this is a Windows 10 issue or VLC player, which is why I ask the question here.
    I have a number of PC's and on each one when I full-screen VLC player on all the PC's except one, the taskbar is not visible. On one it is visible though. As far as I am aware they are all set up the same and I am not sure where the problem lies. It seems that on one the taskbar is on the top of the fullscreen on the rest it's behind vlc. Anyone know what the problem is?

    :)

    Thanks for the suggestion. I've never had to do that before and have no desire to do it now. Note that I found a DVD player software (Player for DVD's Lite) that will play DVD's, even though I don't like it as much as VLC. So I'll live with that for
    now.
