Windows 10: Windows 10 Taskbar Popping Up on Full Screen Video

When I am watching videos on Netflix/YouTube/etc. the taskbar will intermittently pop up at the bottom of the screen.
Currently the issue does not correlate with any error or warning I can find with Event Viewer. It had originally seemed to correlate with error 10016.


Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

How to show the task bar on top of off all other windows.

If you auto hide taskbar, this gives you more space and display area. If it is auto hidden, when you move your mouse cursor down to bottom of screen, it will pop up and it will be ON TOP of other windows and applications. On very few programs in full screen
mode such as a web video etc, it may not pop up. use the windows key on keyboard to pop it up.

 

Task bar popping up when I'm watching a video fullscreen (Windows 10)

Is there a solution to this problem yet? I also find it extremely inconvenient that the taskbar pops up when I have a video in full view.

 

Sorry Posted old method a moment ago.
New method....Type taskbar in Cortana box, click on Taskbar Settings, choose turn off taskbar. see attachment.

The taskbar hides and only appears when you point mouse at bottom of screen.

 

Thanks for the reply but I like the taskbar normally, I just want it to leave me alone when I'm watching videos.

 

It will pop up if a mouse move triggers it.

 

I've recently experienced this. What I did was:
- Task Manager > Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) > Restart it. Wait for it to fully restart with all your pinned apps, then try.
- Uninstalled "AeroGlass". I don't know if you have this installed, but good luck!

Hope it works out for you, it's really annoying I know.

 

That would only be if the OP installed that theme pack like you did.

 

yeah, that's why i doubt he'll have it, the first method should work though

 

Have had the same issue, didn't find any errors related to the timing of the popup. Then I just tried another browser other than chrome and the taskbar did not popup. Hopefully google fixes the issue.

 

How would a mouse trigger the taskbar? Sometimes if I bump the mouse the status bar for the video will come up but I've never noticed the Windows taskbar popping up as a result of anything I do with the mouse.

 

so my solution didnt work then?

 

It works on my four computers.....see attachment.....take mouse pointer to bottom of screen for taskbar to show, move away from bottom then taskbar disappears.....as stated in my post #2.
Do note have turned on Automatically hide taskbar as shown in post#2 yet taskbar is showing by moving mouse pointer as stated above.

 

Some app, most likely running in the taskbar triggers it, when doing something, like AV updating.
You could try closing all taskbar apps or hiding all taskbar icons temporarily, system icons included.

 

Nah it didn't
