Hi! If this happens in games as well, all you do is right-click the taskbar, go to settings and do Automatically hide taskbar in desktop and tablet mode! Voila! It’s done! How do I stop my taskbar from showing? How do you get rid of the bar at the bottom of the screen when watching youtube? Sometimes, if you’re experiencing problems with your taskbar auto- hiding, just turning the feature off and back on again will fix your problem. Make sure that the “Auto- hide the taskbar” option is enabled. Make sure that the “Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode” option is enabled. In the Task Manager window, restart the process named ‘Windows Explorer’ as shown in this video. To fix the issue of Taskbar Not Hiding in Fullscreen Mode in Windows 10, right click on taskbar. Why is my taskbar not hiding when fullscreen?
