Windows 10: Taskbar visibility

Whenever I tab out of a fullscreen application, my taskbar turns invisible and I cannot click on it. Whenever I click where my taskbar WOULD be, it just tabs me back into the full-screened application. For example, I would be playing apex legends, and when I tab out, my taskbar is not tangible. it will be there for one second, but will soon disappear. I don't know why it is happening. It happens in every game I play now and also even youtube videos that are fullscreened.

taskbar not visible

Hi,

follow these steps

Step 1

Press the "Start" key on your keyboard, which has a Windows icon in it. This means that the taskbar and will open the Start menu.

Step 2

Write "taskbar" in the search bar of the menu. The second result under "Control Panel" in the category of search results will be "automatically the taskbar".

Step 3

Click on "Automatically hide the taskbar." This opens the "Properties" window of the Taskbar and the Start Menu.

Step 4

Uncheck the box next to "Automatically hide the taskbar."

I hope this can help

toggle to switch taskbar location from bottom to right and back

'particular monitor/screen and visible unlocked taskbar' No, my taskbar is normally locked - I would need to include the unlocking step. I already use many Autohotkey applications - mostly for entering scraps of text.
Forgive me for quoting the wrong program 'AutoIT' when you suggested AutoHotKey. MouseClickDrag looks daunting but 'feasible' - worth a try - but not tonight.

 

Taskbar still visible in fullscreen mode

Let's try an attempt at resetting default computer settings by doing simple steps.

1) Right click on the Taskbar, and uncheck Lock the taskbar
2) Click-and-drag the Taskbar over to the left side of the screen, and let go of the mouse click, to set the Taskbar over there
3) Again, now click-and-drag the Taskbar from the left part of your screen right back down to the bottom
4) Right click on the Taskbar, and check Lock the taskbar

Try running full screen applications.
