.Helpful resources.General rules. Follow. Keep it civil and on topic. I just wanted to put this somewhere for people who may have had the same trouble as I did with windows 10 and video games.Sometimes when playing a game in windowed fullscreen (borderless fullscreen), the taskbar can get stuck and will persistently show at the top.

I googled it myself and didn't find anything recent related to this problem. If anyone has more information as to why this happens, feel free to share!GPU: GeForce GTX 970Operating System: Windows 10 Pro. Say I have a game on Fullscreen Windowed setting on my primary monitor (M1). If I alt tab to any other window, other than the game, I used to have the taskbar show up on M1. Taskbar would also show up durring ALT+TABing (secondary always has the taskbar unless something is fullscreen in that window due to the extend taskbar setting.)After the AU I no longer get the task bar to show up while there is a fullscreen windowed program running UNLESS I have another window hidden behind the the fullscreen program AND that window is my current focus.
