When I fullscreen (f11) Chrome on my second monitor with the display fusion taskbar, the taskbar now stays ontop of the Chrome window. It used to hide behind it. Chrome covers the default windows taskbar just fine.

Windows 10586.545

Chrome Version 52.0.2743.116 m

Display Fusion 8

Neither "Show taskerbar in front of full screen applications when they lose focus" nor "Allow taskbar reloading while full screen applications are running" are checked.

Tested it with Firefox, Internet Explorer, and VLC player same issues. To my knowledge I've made no changes since this afternoon.

Just as randomly as it happened, it's gone. *shrugs* Everything is working right now.

I'm having the same type of issue. Where with any browser or game, when I go into fullscreen it still shows the DF taskbar, the only way to fix it is to close DF which I don't want to do. I see that you mentiond that this issue has been fixed in the new update.

- Fix: Taskbar no longer shows in front of a fullscreen Chrome window when it's not supposed to

Please investigate and if you can advise. I can make a plan for games but in windows its getting frustrating to see the taskbar in full screen the whole time.

Thanks.

Windows 10 with the latest update that just came out.

Thanks! I've done some more digging, and had another customer confirm what's happening here as well. It turns out that either intentionally, or by accident, the Windows 10 Anniversary Update keeps the Windows taskbar above all windows if there are any windows that are "Always on Top" or "topmost." That explains why the DisplayFusion taskbar is triggering it, because we set it as topmost so that it stays above other windows as well.

Unfortunately there's not much we can do there, it's something that Microsoft will have to fix up in an update to Windows 10 :(
