Windows 10: Cannot hide top toolbar in windows photo viewer.

Hi, I am currently having difficulty in hiding the top toolbar in Windows 10 photo viewer. In the past I could click the space bar to hide the toolbar, but that isn't working anymore. I already tried to repair the photo viewer app and reset the app back to default, but the error persist.
