Windows 10 Taskbar appears in-game
Hey guys, it appears that my windows taskbar in win10 won't go away. I keep my task bar at the top of the screen - this seems to be pushing the game down a few pixels, hiding much of the UI.

Any ideas?

UPDATE:

Moving my taskbar to the bottom of the screen resolved my issue. A sucky resolution to the problem, though.

Are you running in fullscreen mode or windowed mode?

There are other issues with the Windows 10 taskbar that I've noticed. For example, if you set the taskbar to the Top or Left of the screen, the Explorer window will remember its location when closed and opened back up again. If you have the taskbar set to the Bottom or Right of the screen, when you open Explorer, position it somewhere, close it and then re-open it again, it will move to a slightly different position each time you open it up again (an annoying Windows 10 bug for people who like to keep application windows in specific positions).

Yea, I was running the game in full-screen.

It appears there are yet still Win10 bugs that need to be worked out. Though, I wonder if it's on Microsoft or the developer to fix it.

Meh. Performance in general is pretty solid though. =p

Fullscreen uses WS_POPUP when creating the window which should cause Windows to hide the taskbar (but this seems to be buggy in Windows 10). Hopefully Microsoft will release an update for Windows 10 that will address this issue, in the meantime, the workaround you mentioned (of changing the location of the taskbar) is one way to correct this.

I have the same problem, but my taskbar is already at the bottom. Please help! D:

Ok, so I know how to fix it if you haven't, right click on your taskbar, then go to the bottom where it says lock the taskbar, make sure it has a check mark beside it, if not, click on it. And there, it should fix it

I have this problem and it goes back to the desktop. I've tried turning the Lock on the taskbar. It doesn't just happen on games it does it to any window i have open. It's as if my computer gets a notification. I've had it happen twice whilst writing this. It's as if i clicked of the application. It only began today

Found solution:

1. Open TaskManager (right click on taskbar or CTRL_ALT+DELETE)
2. Right-click on Windows Explorer, than click on Restart.
