Windows 10 Taskbar Over Game
I like to have the maximum amount of screen space, so I set the taskbar at the bottom of Windows to hide when it's not in use. Whenever I need the taskbar, I just hover over where it should be and it pops up. However, I recently noticed that I couldn't get my taskbar to unhide itself when I was using Google Chrome as my browser. The taskbar worked fine with every single other program, but not Chrome.
