Many individuals have complained about the taskbar appearing even while they are watching a full-screen YouTube video. This issue affects practically all browsers, including Chrome and Edge.

If you are experiencing this issue as well, please try the solutions listed below.

Fix 2 – Disable Task View from Taskbar

Case 1: Right-click on the Taskbar in Windows 10.

2. If the Hide Task View option is selected, click the Show Task View button.
