    Taskbar will not hide if any app is in fullscreen mode


    All of a sudden, now when I put any app in fullscreen, the taskbar remains in place.

    I have to set the host taskbar to autohide to see the fullscreen.

    It is really annoying in a hyper-v session as it hides the vm taskbar unless I autohide host taskbar

    This just started recently - any ideas guys?

    edit: found solution - I had to kill windows explorer.exe service from task manager and reboot. Problem sorted!

    :)

    Full screen in Photo App

    Please add Fullscreen button in Photo App! And please hide the taskbar when using fullscreen mode.

    Taskbar isnt hiding

    The windows 10 taskbar wont (Frustratingly) hide when I do anything fullscreen related. For example, In youtube it goes fullscreen, but the taskbar wont hide. Same thing with games or anything fullscreen related. one example of "Anything fullscreen related"
    is a common steam game : Unturned. the taskbar wont hide during fullscreen mode. Also, Please do not suggest auto-hide. auto-hide is as cancerous as the problem itself, In my opinion.

    I solved this in 2 steps:

    1. Open TaskManager (right click on taskbar or CTRL_ALT+DELETE)
    2. In processes, locate and Right-click on Windows Explorer , than click on Restart.

    Much easier than killing it and then restarting your pc! Just simply restart it and it should work!
