Windows 10: Taskbar is visible while playing Minecraft Game

***<Title chnage from: Minecraft still showing top and bottom bars?>***


When I play minecraft, both the taskbar and the bar at the top stay on the screen. It doesn't happen for youtube or any of my other games, just minecraft. This is the only game I have through the microsoft store on my computer so there's a chance it might be that?


Here's a screenshot in case it would help.

Taskbar disappears behind games

Hi,

A recent change in the configuration of your device can be one of the factors why this issue occurs.
To help us determine the appropriate troubleshooting steps
that can resolve your concern, we would like to ask the following questions:

• Which Windows build version are you using? To check, type
  winver in the Search box, select the resulting command and send us a screenshot of the information window.
• Have you tried running other games? If yes, are you experiencing the same issue?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far to resolve your concern?

In addition, when running a game in full-screen mode the taskbar is normally hidden. For case isolation, try to run the game in windows-mode. This mode allows you to run the game in a smaller window which allows you to have your taskbar visible. To
do this, we suggest that you check the game support site for any information on how to configure the game using this option.

We look forward to your response.

 

Minecraft

Hi Reinis,

There are several editions of Minecraft. Each edition works best on the platform it was intended to.
Minecraft: Java and Minecraft: Windows 10 editions were created for Windows 10 devices. There's a different version available for an Xbox One platform. To answer your question, since the version you have is for Windows 10,
you'll need to purchase the game's Xbox One version. You may purchase Minecraft: Xbox One version on this

link.

Our Xbox developers are collating suggestions for the improvement of your Xbox gaming experience. Recently, we've created the
Xbox Play Anywhere feature. This allows Windows 10 games to be played on Xbox One and vice versa. Based on the list, Minecraft is not yet an
XPA game. You may refer to this
link for additional details regarding the XPA games. Since Minecraft is not yet an
XPA game, we recommend submitting a post to the
Xbox UserVoice page and request this game to be included as an Xbox Play Anywhere.

We hope we're able to answer your query.

If there's anything else you want to clarify, don't hesitate to get back to us. We'd be glad to further assist you.
