Windows 10: Display Resolution

I just set-up a new Acer PC. Connected my Samsung monitor using HDMI cable. Set display resolution to1920 X 1080 (recommended resolution). I running Windows 10 64 Bit. My problem is the taskbar is not visible at the bottom of the screen and the search bar is not visible at the top of the screen. My desktop is totally void of anything but background picture. I finally had to set resolution at 1600 X 1200 to get anything to appear on the desktop. At this resolution everything is a bit compressed but it's the only thing I could find that works. Very disappointing.
