Windows 10: Youtube fullscreen shows taskbar (Chrome)

So... i have a laptop and a Razer Blackwidow Stealth 2016 keyboard when ever I take out the keyboard the problem is fixed so... I have to use my laptop's crappy keyboard when watching youtube

 

So you're saying your keyboard caused this..?

 

I guess when I unplug it it works fine IDK man

 

Guys, it is not only Windows 10 or Chrome problem. I also have it on Windows 7 and Opera. Actually i tried Opera, Chrome, Mozilla FF, IE 11 and all of them have this issue until i click on Taskbar and then on video again, so i would say it is not browser related problem.

 

This is for Windows 10 as that is the version my device is currently on.
Task Bar settings > switch 'on' for automatically hide task bar for desktop/tablet mode, depending on which you prefer to use.

(DON'T PANIC, this is meant to hide your task bar so you won't see it ever. To re-find it, just hover your cursor over where the task bar usually would be and it will appear just as it will disappear when your cursor leaves the area.)

I was having the same problem lol. I only just figured out how to avoid it

 

Just right click on taskbar ;
Select > LOCK THE TASKBAR ( if it's alrdy locked , just recheck the option )

It should fix the problem ......

 

Guys I have an easy fix, go to the task manager (CTRL+ALT+ESC to open), then find "Windows Explorer", and finally hit reset. If done correctly, the taskbar should hide when going fullscreen.

 

WINDOWS 7 USERS

Remove "PEAK DESKTOP" Option if checked !

SOLVED !


I'm not sure if this works on any other WIN versions.
Leave a reply if it works on 8 9 10 11 12 etc *Biggrin

 

I've got this bug several times over the course of many months but restarting my computer always fixed it.
i cant really tell whats causing it tho

 

After some time spent investigating this bug .... ( tried some fixes , and some of them just worked for a short period of time ..... then the problem come back again ) I think i found the main source of this problem ....


It's actly not the taskbar it self ....
It's the Default Theme of Windows 7 that is causing this problem ....

Switching to Windows Classic theme in personalization menu fixes this isue

Have been testing it from some time now ... and always the taskbar is acting correctly in fullscreen mode ...

Hmmmm so if there is experienced forumer here that can edit the theme or registry ( i dont know ) that can fix this it would be just wounderfull *Smile
Until then i will stay with the Clasic Theme ..... ( shame it looks like WIN 95 *Biggrin )

 

I know this is an old thread but for anyone having this issue.

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.

Hope it works for you guys too!

 

Easy Fix: Swap your video from 1 monitor the other. So if you normally have your video on the monitor with the task bar, move it to the other without the task bar. So therefore there is nothing to show up when you are in full screen and you click over to twitter

 

That, by definition, is not a fix and barely considered a workaround... I am experiencing this issue still on Windows 10 Version 1703 KB4016240 and Google Chrome 58.0.3029.81. It only occurs on my main desktop and not on my secondary desktop, both have taskbars.

 

A quick Fix for this for those using Windows 10, is You need to first Right click on the task-bar, and then go down the list of actions and click the settings, Next find where it says "Automatically hide the task bar in desktop/tablet mode" (depending on whether your using a Windows 10 Desktop or laptop, or if your using a Windows 10 tablet). That's it Voila, if it doesn't work then I don't know what will...

 

That does not work >*Sad
