    In fullscreen I have a grey overlay - with the exception of where the taskbar is


    The grey overlay is always present. I cannot get rid of it, but I can make it visible by auto-hiding the taskbar. What could that be??This does not depend on the monitor or HDR settings. It is a software overlay. I can restart the Windows Explorer, but no change. I have a GTX 4090. Windows 11 22H2 22621.2283The grey overlay is really annoying!Many thanks for the help!

    :)

    Radeon Overlay not displaying all options

    Ok, I got a question. The options to hide the overlay are confusing. What are the steps to turn on the overlay in-game? Not interested in logging much at the moment. Is Alt-R part of turning it on/off?

    Windows 10 brings taskbar on top of fullscreen-windows

    I was playing a game on my laptop and suddenly the taskbar is visible in a fullscreen game. It did not stop there, after the game i opened Netflix. When i tried to fullscreen the video again the taskbar appeared. Please suggest a fix. Thank You.

    Taskbar appearing when fullscreen

    Hi Castiel,

    My name is Merlina, I am an Independent Advisor and a user like yourself. I'll do my best to help you.

    I'm sorry to know that when you are playing full screen games, the taskbar is not hiding automatically as it should be.

    That happened to me before and was able to fix it using the steps in this link:

    https://softwarekeep.com/help-center/how-to-hid...

    I suggest following the steps one by one and then testing after each step.

    Let me know any questions. Thank you!
