a window will appear and you should type explorer.exe and everything should return and the Taskbar should no longer be in the way (assuming this was the issue, which I've had many times). ( Note: You probably will not be able to alt-tab, or other things to read this so read it and remember before you do this.)Īfter that click on the File menu under the Window title, You'll see a few options click Run new task. Windows 10 note: You're likely done, but if your taskbar and other things don't come back keep reading.Īfter that you'll notice that the taskbar and a few other things will disappear this is intended. Strangely, the Netflix app is currently giving a true full screen right now. Note: This process controls various things, so before you continue make sure you close out of important folders, file transfers and any important work is saved just to be safe.Ĭlick on the process name and click on end task OR restart since Windows 10. The taskbar refuses to auto-hide, and is showing 'always-on-top' behaviour when I try to watch videos in full screen mode, both with Media Player Classic HC and with VLC.
I suggest opening the task manager ( Control + Shift + Escape) going to details if you can and find a process named explorer.exe. You stated that it works fine normally which would imply 90% of the time it's fine. I think the issue in this case is more a Windows issue rather than a Minecraft issue as JeffyBoyy states.
