Windows 10: Taskbar keeps dissapearing

Hi,This is something that happened the first time ever.I have a fresh Windows 10 64 bit OS and whenever I play a game in fullscreen or fullscreen windowed, the taskbar will disappear when switching back to the desktop. Auto-hide taskbar option is disabled, sfc /scannow already tried. This never happened before and it is very unusual.So, for example ... playing a fullscreen game, alt-tabbing back to google chrome or windows explorer, doesn't matter, the taskbar will disappear and I have to press the windows button each time to see it again for a second until it disappears again.Does anyone have

:)
