Windows 10: Taskbar reappears on Windows 10

I recently formatted my PC and encountered a problem that I didn't have before. At first, I noticed that while playing a game, the taskbar would randomly pop up for like 0.1 seconds and then disappear. Thishappened pretty often, and it turns out it's not the game's fault. Now I also saw it pop up while I was watching a fullscreen YouTube video, and even when I was on the desktop! The best way to imagine the last one is that the taskbar opens again "over itself". Today when I started playing, in just about 10 minutes the taskbar has already appeared twice. However now it didn't even go back, it

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.

Taskbar dissappeared on Windows 10.

Hi,

I appreciate if you could answer few questions to narrow down to the issue.

• 
  Are you referring to the Taskbar?
  
• 
  Did you make any changes to the settings?
  
• 
  Did you install any third party security application?
  

This issue may arise due to the corruptions in Windows components. We will assist you to resolve the issue.

As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to download and install any pending updates that needs to be installed on the computer through Windows update and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

Also check if the Taskbar is in Auto hide mode:

• 
  Right click at the bottom of the screen.
  
• 
  Click on properties and under Taskbar tab
  
• 
  Place a check mark on Hide Taskbar.
  

If the issue persists, restart Windows explorer and check the status.

1. Press Alt+ctr+Del from Desktop.

2. Select Task Manager.

3. Under process tab, locate Windows Explorer.

4. Right Click Windows Explorer and select
End Task.

5. Now select on File tab and click
Run Task.

6. Type explorer.exe and press ok.

7. Check if the issue persists.

If the above steps doesn’t work, I suggest you to create a new account and check if the issue persists in new account.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
