Windows 10: Internet apps overlap/mess up taskbar after exiting full screen

When I go full screen to watch something like youtube, netflix, twitch, whether I use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, after a few minutes when I exit full screen my task bar gets glitched up. The application buttons seem to dissapear, and part of what I was watching in full screen shows up still in the taskbar. If I mouse over the task bar or click around on the web browser, it goes away and functions normally. Any idea what might be going on?

Taskbar overlapping full screen

Hi,

We know it's frustrating when things don't work as expected. Let me assist you to resolve the issue.

Have you installed any third party security software?

This issue could have occurred due to conflict between third party applications or antivirus software.

Follow the methods below and check if it helps:

Method 1:

I suggest you to perform a clean boot and check. Setting the system in a clean boot state will help to identify if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue.

Warning:

After clean boot troubleshooting steps, refer to the section "How to reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting with clean boot" in the provided link to return your computer to Normal
startup mode.

Method 2:

If the issue persists, I would suggest you to disable Antivirus software/ Firewall and check if it helps.

Warning:

1) Please make sure to re-enable Antivirus software after performing troubleshooting steps.

2) Antivirus software/ Firewall can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable or uninstall your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable or uninstall
it to install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled or uninstalled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

Hope this information helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of the issue so that we can assist you further.

Hello,

This could be related to not having the latest drivers for your graphics card device. We recommend that you check if an update is available for your graphics card device by following the steps in this wiki article on

How to: Install and Update drivers in Windows 10.

Give us an update on the result and we will be glad to assist you further.

 

What is the Make and Model# of your laptop?
Go to the Manufacturers Support/Download Drivers. Type in your make and model# or Service Tag#. Type in your version of Windows 10 (ie) 32bit or 64bit and download the Video Driver for your model.

 

It's an acer aspire v5 573 pg. The drivers on acer's website seem to be outdated, I found "IRST (Intel® Rapid Start Technology) Driver" and its' dated 2015/07/27. The drivers on acers website seem to all be outdated.
I'll try downloading the NVidia geforce driver from the website and see what happens.

 

I'm assuming its the IRST IRST (Intel® Rapid Start Technology) Driver? I can't seem to find a display/graphics driver on the acer website. The website also says "After upgrading to Windows 10, if there are any drivers that haven't been installed, please run Windows Update to install the appropriate drivers."

What about going to device manager and uninstalling Intel HD Graphics family? Will it do a reinstall?
