Windows 10: why does the Windows 10 desktop screen automatically reappear?

I have a small tablet running Windows 10, and the Desktop keeps reappearing for no good reason. I downloaded an app from the Windows Store but could not get to it to install - the desktop reappears by itself. Apparently, Windows 7 had "Aeropeek" which allowed that, but I do not find anything in the settings of Windows 10 to stop this malady.

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 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

Microsoft to push automatic Windows 10 upgrades in 2016

"Microsoft has announced that Windows 10 will be automatically rolled out next year to all users of its older operating systems who have selected to receive updates.

Until now, users of Windows 7 and 8 have needed to register to upgrade to Windows 10. But that's about to change: soon the OS will be listed as an 'Optional Update' and -- from 2016 -- a 'recommended' update that will automatically install itself, if users have opted to receive updates in that way.*Shadedshun :shadedshu:

You can opt out of automatic updates to avoid this, but Microsoftsays that "we strongly discourage this in today’s connected world because of the constant risk of internet threats". You can also change your Windows Update settings to install critical updates but not recommended ones. Although it's still going to be possible to avoid installation, Microsoft seems quite determined for everyone to be using Windows 10 in near future.


The roll-out of reserved updates was initially staggered but, according to Microsoft, now Windows "will automatically kick off the upgrade process once you have made a reservation".

As an intermediate stage, Microsoft says that it will "soon" publish Windows 10 as an optional update, not installed by default, but accessible to all users."
