When watching videos on fullscreen on websites such as YouTube, the videos tool bar play/pause button, captions, etc is sometimes covered by the windows task bar. Reading online I can temporarily fix this by opening task manager and restarting windows explorer, however the problem always comes back. This seems to only be and issue with watching videos and not with fullscreen games

Taskbar covering Fullscreen videoes

Everytime I view a video and put it into fullscreen the taskbar fails to disappear from the screen. I wish to not turn on auto hide for it, but rather find a solution for the current settings.

Is there a setting that I accidentally changed or is it supposed to be obstructive?
