    Can't open Settings or Start Menu, taskbar visible in fullscreen


    So yeah.. title? I don't know how or why it happened. One day, it just kinda did, without any possible explanation.
    Please help me fix these problems, they're the only reason I went and made an account here. I previously had issues with this system, but none were as annoying as this one, and were temporary.

    :)

    Taskbar still visible in fullscreen mode


    Let's try an attempt at resetting default computer settings by doing simple steps.

    1) Right click on the Taskbar, and uncheck Lock the taskbar
    2) Click-and-drag the Taskbar over to the left side of the screen, and let go of the mouse click, to set the Taskbar over there
    3) Again, now click-and-drag the Taskbar from the left part of your screen right back down to the bottom
    4) Right click on the Taskbar, and check Lock the taskbar

    Try running full screen applications.
