How to Hide Taskbar in Fullscreen Windows 10: Easy Way. Follow these steps to disable taskbar in fullscreen mode on Windows 10. Go to the Settings in Windows 10; For a shortcut, press the Windows key and “I” key together. Taskbar creates a different problem in the different version of windows such as Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10. As we see that Windows 10 is an advanced and latest version of Windows and the taskbar also plays an important role in it for shortcuts. I recently just upgraded to windows 10 and loving Microsoft Edge but I have 1 problem. Every time I watch videos on youtube or any other similar sites the taskbar appear when I go to the bottom of the screen. It's a little bit annoying as every time I try to adjust volume or go between fullscreen to normal the taskbar appear and block those.

I will start any video games. They are almost always in fullscreen or windowed fullscreen. Mostly later because I can alt+tab and look up meta-game info when necessary.

Ever since the windows 10 update like 3 or 4 weeks ago. I don't remember exactly when.

The problem started and there seem to be no sure fire way to fix this. Restart might resolve the issue for a little while before coming back. Alt+tab just move the window down and right as expect then back to the same issue again.

I can't be 100% sure where the cause is. But I strongly suspect it has to do with my old PC and how it interact with windows 10/current nvidia driver.

Now the issue is that the windows task bar that normally would disappear if I have a fullscreen application running will NOT hide. Instead it will treat the taskbar as click for taskbar instead of the fullscreen. It also block some button/info on the bottom which makes it impossible to play certain games that may depend on the area behind the task bar.

Here is an example screenshot from Dawn of War 3. IGNORE the low quality graphic I was just testing the tutorial and see if it runs at all.

That said there are plenty of games that will not suffer from it at all while other do.

My setup is black 1075t amd cpu.Nvidia 660 GTX.

I used two simple options to hide windows task bar:

First one is to tap twice Win button on keyboard. It would call and then hide Start menu, which at same time would hide task bar.

Second one is to have other application window open on same monitor and use alt-tab to swap to it and back to full screen application.

P.S. Surprisingly non of above worked for me right now, but it still can be useful.

Go to taskbar settings and change the taskbar position. It instantly fixes it, and you can even put it back down if you want.

Some people claim that unpinning all the taskbar icons and then pinning them back fixes the issue.
