  1. Taskbar popup during full screen mode


    Whenever I am watching something on full screen mode Youtube, Youtube TV, etc,the taskbar frequently pops up; every several minutes or so.I have tried a lot of things and still haven't solved it.I looked at performance of my task manager;CPU at 41%, Memory at 58%, Disks C and D were running low. I believe Memory at 50%s is normal?Please someone give me advice on how to tackle this issue. I am running Windows 10 Home.

    :)

  3. Windows 10 taskbar will reappear when app is in full screen mode.

    Hello Ecarnate,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    We understand the inconvenience you have experienced.

    • You mean to say, the taskbar will appear on hover when app is in full screen mode?
    • Is this happening for all Windows 10 apps that can run in full screen mode?
    • If not, then for which app this is happening?
    Usually when you switch an app to full screen mode, then the taskbar will automatically hide on background. When you switch back the app to normal mode then the taskbar will reappear again. From your description, I see that taskbar is still appearing in
    full screen view.

    Yes, when you scroll the mouse cursor completely to the bottom of the screen, then taskbar will reappear even in full screen mode. This is as per Windows 10 design. You can only prevent this by not moving the cursor completely to the bottom of the screen.

    Suggest you to post your feedback in this regard using Windows Feedback app, which will help us to improve you experience.

    Keep us posted if you require further assistance.

    Windows 10 Taskbar sometimes on top of full-screen applications

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I suggest you to change the Screen Resolution and check if this helps. Follow the steps below to do the same:

    • Press ‘Windows ’ key on the keyboard.
    • In the search box, type Settings
    • SelectSystem > Display > Advanced display settings.
    • Under Resolution, select a new value. We suggest you stick with the resolution marked
      "(Recommended)”.
    Also try locking and then unlocking the Taskbar and check if this helps. Follow the steps below:

    • Right-click an empty space on the taskbar.
    • If Lock the Taskbar has a check mark next to it, the taskbar is locked.
    • If it does not have a check mark, click Lock the Taskbar.
    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
