Windows 10: Youtube fullscreen shows taskbar (Chrome)

Didn't pay any attention until today but my question would be about how "full Screen" is being reached. The first thing would be the middle icon in the upper right corner of the browser which Maximizes the program window or toggling it Restores to the previous view. The only computer I have Chrome on is a Vista I took in to recover files. Using the Maximize button does leave the Taskbar visiable The second thing is pressing the F11 key to get Full Screen, does hide/cover the Taskbar but leaves the Bookmark Toolbar at the top of Chrome.

 

Yes, F11 does cover taskbar ect for me too. But the full/expand box remains not covering the taskbar like normal. And have you messed with the taskbar settings trying to fix that problem?

 

But opening and glitched, pressing f11 corrects the issue for me. So I suppose its not a big deal having to press one extra button..

I was wondering do you think it could related to the display driver?

 

Could be. I don't have a problem as I seldom have a program running Maximized but do on occasion use Full Screen. I did notice that F11 on a Linux Mint computer will do a Full Screen for Firefox but not for all programs. Same on Win10 such as the Settings panel even though Maximize works as it should.

 

hello! i am new and i had the same problem! all you is open chrome, go to the top of the screen where all the tabs are and right click (on the blue part) and click on "Maximize" and now when you go into fullscreen, it doesnt show!! *Wink happy watching! -mackypup

 

Are you talking about the expand button on the top right? That does not work for me, thats for sure.

 

Yeah Im still really curious what causes it. Still happens to me a couple to a few times a week.

 

Hi,

If you close Chrome fully and end all it's processes you can use YouTube again in fullscreen, without having the taskbar.

 

Mine is intermittent. Happened to me yesterday again since the last time i posted. But restarting explorer seems to work fine so i'll stick to that *Tongue

 

I purposely kept one tab open last time just trying all different things and no matter what, that one tab cannot be fixed. Has to be something which happened to a tab. I was just looking for the root cause. This is happening to you in chrome right? I just use f11.

My curiosity will always be searching though *Biggrin

 

Yes it's been happening on chrome. So it has to do with a certain tab? I actually never thought about just creating a new one and trying

 

It may not have to do with any specific tab initially, but once it happens that tab is always and forever like that until I close it. Even if It starts working again on every other tab and window.

 

Yeah right, Edwin. lol. Please lengthen this message to at least 3 characters more ERR

 

I have the exact same problem here on my PC.

Using Google Chrome version 53.0.2785.116 m (64-bit) and Windows 10 x64 Enterprise

Any solution?

 

Press F11.
